I am working up the first of 6 Estudios Espresivos for a workshop this month. However I am confused about how many short variations are in the first set. I have one recording on Spotify which has 5 variations with the second set of variations starting with the arpeggio based one which is actually marked final in my score. I have another recorded version which includes this arpeggio variation in the first set making a total of 6 variations. Sorry if this sounds confusing - it is! Chris

Gosh a whopping 56 viewed this and no one seems to know the answer. Surely I have not foxed the experts on here? Come on people - someone must know :-\. Chris

Must be someone from a Latin country who can answer this question or is this piece rarely performed? Anyone???

Granados is generally not often performed, besides maybe his Goyescas suite for piano.
From what I understand, the 1st of Estudios Expresivos includes: the theme, 4 variations, and a coda (which is referred to as "final" in the piece).

Oh great - at last an answer. So the fast runs marked final are part of the first one then. Shame - will have to try and play that now lol. Yes Granados is not played much although it is very inventive and not all obviously Latin. Thank you. Chris
