Composed in 1946, it was published the following year in memory of the pianist Ricardo Viñes. The standard performance time is 4 minutes.

Song

"Song" is Moderato cantabile con sentimento. In 3/4 time, G minor. It is based on the well-known European folk song "Amelia's Testament." The melody, sung over a swaying 3/4 accompaniment, perhaps expresses the sorrow of Princess Amelia on the verge of death. The music progresses towards an f climax, as if summoning the last ounce of strength from the depths, and finally fades away as if exhausted.

Dance

"Dance" is in G major, 3/4 time. It is based on the Catalan folk song "The Spinning Girl," which tells of the beginning of a poor girl's love. The charming melody, gentle yet conveying a sense of a buoyant heart, is captivating. It is interesting to effectively differentiate between sections that sing like an inner voice in the middle register and those that sing brightly in the high register.
