"Danzas españolas" is a piece from Spanish composer Enrique Granados. Selecting and performing this piece shows a certain amount of maturity. In order to better characterise what the composer himself wanted to achieve by creating this piece, it is necessary to educate oneself - to create your own personal opinion and attitude towards this type of music. Granados, along with Albeniza, was the composer of so-called newer music (at that time). Although they differ in their way of composing and interpreting music, they also share certain similarities. Regardless of the similarities, Granados was unique, his „12 Spanish Dances“ really contain 12 complete dances. All of them are very similar in character, although they differ in partiture; but character which Granados tried to show (Spanish + his personal psychological profile) was highlighted through all of them in this cycle. They capture the beauty of Spanish music and at the same time the line of Granados's work, which permeates throughout the whole piece (for this it is necessary to know certain parts from his biography to better understand the hardships and struggle he endured to achieve something that he really wanted). "Danzas españolas" is his greatest masterpiece and a really big "bite" for the Graduation thesis, in which a pianist can show understanding of the piece, the maturity that was acquired during studies and, ultimately, the art of interpretation he or she has honed.
