Along with the latter’s Boston Waltzes, delicious works, waltzes by Chopin, the piano poet and two works by Enrique Granados, a contemporary of Worsley and whose Poetic Waltzes allow us to appreciate the differences and similarities between the two. The concert ends with the famous Allegro de Concierto, a virtuoso work with which the composer won a competition at the Madrid Conservatory. A repertoire definitely to dance in our seats.
