@sterlingtaste I beg you pardon?? Did I read it correctly? I'm afraid that you have a serious hearing problem. How can you say that there is no melodic theme in this composition !!!!!!

[alaninspain2007]

as regards the comments on themes, I think that De Falla is building on decorative elements in a similar manner to the designers of the gardens (not an original observation on my part)

Wonderful, she was so amazing!!!! The orchestra is great too. Thanks.

@sterlingtaste And that's why so much classical music is wasted on you.

Uff que problema tiene el amigo este que no reconoce ningún tema melódico aquí...

[sterlingtaste]

There's no melodic theme in this composition.  I can't recognize it. That's why the entire composition makes no imprint on me.
