It's gorgeous.
To me it's by far the best thing Granados wrote.

Well, you created a stupid topic with a stupid first post, so I posted a stupid response. At least give this thread some content to make it interesting beyond "this is the most amazing piece ever".

Wow, is that what it really means??
She must have been well mashed to be complaining to a nightingale.

I'm envious. Whenever I feel the need to complain to birds, all I can find are a crapton of Canadian geese, and they never shut the hell up enough for me to get a word in edgewise. |

The Girl's Complaints to the Nightingale Hmm, my Spanish training tells me that this translates to "complaints, or the pestle and the nightingale" rather than "the girl's complains to the nightingale". Must be some idiomatic expression I don't know. |

I believe she's worn out all of her friends with her endless yacking, gone through most of the farm-yard animals and forest creatures, and has now ended up with the bird. remy |

That would explain it.
Sounds like the average female to me.

I imagine the bird flew into her plate glass window and is on the ground hobbling around with a bum wing thinking, "Jesus Christ, get me away from this annoying woman." |

Just yesterday, I listened to the recording of "Goyescas" as played by Alicia Delarrocha. The whole set of pieces is great.

Why are people saying this is a stupid thread?? It's nice for someone to share a great piece of music with many people who probabl;y havn't heard it before. And why try to say he hasn't spelt it correctly?? I am almost certain that elevateme speaks more languages than anyone on this forum! And why should it be more elaborate? If he believes it is the greatest piece ever...fine! And I don't see any greater need for him to say more. Hmm, my Spanish training tells me that this translates to "complaints, or the pestle and the nightingale" rather than "the girl's complains to the nightingale". Must be some idiomatic expression I don't know.

Wikipedia is great. It explains things more concisely than I can, and one often learns something new... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MajaBut who's complaining in this piece anyway? Why assume it's the girl ( oh you men !    ) Maybe it's the nightingale that's complaining...   [/img] ¡Ponga un poco de ropa! ¡Usted nos está asustando!  |

Yeh I believe you I seriously did! I can speak Spanish moderately well without the use of that site. But yeah, I didn't know that a maja was a woman. It is used to mean pestle usually. |
