Catalogue Note
Rare: autograph material by Albéniz is seldom offered for sale. We have not traced this zortzico in any library in the UK. A zortzico is a Basque dance in asymmetrical metre, Albéniz's example being in 5/8. The dedicatee Marguerite Hasselmans was the mistress of Gabriel Fauré, a great friend of Albéniz.
