Oscár de la Cinna : Une Larme - Idylle mauresque , Op. 547

Oscár de la Cinna (1836-1906) was actually Hungarian by birth, and studied piano with Czerny. However, he travelled widely (for example, in 1854 he put on a concert in Stockholm), and visited Mallorca in 1866, subsequently marrying a local girl. After again living in various parts of Europe, he eventually settled in Seville. He had actually been to Seville in the 1850s where he attempted to introduce German repertoire, then little known there in a recital. He wrote much piano salon music - each piece with its own opus number. The music I have seen is all very well written, and seems to provide a musical bridge between the Spain of Bizet and Delibes, and that of Albeniz and Granados. This piece: ' A Tear - Moorish Idyll' was dedicated to Isabella, Princess of Asturias (1851--1931), the Infanta of Spain, indicating the standing and connections Cinna enjoyed in his adoptive country (he was himself from a noble family). It seems to have been published in 1896. If you think the outer section has long gaps between phrases - that is what Cinna wrote. I think the piece is more French than Moorish, but it is enjoyable and effective nevertheless!

This is beautiful. And seems to be not too hard. Could you send me the sheets?

@The19thKey Thank you. You can download it from the composer's page on IMSLP - it is one of the 4 morceaux de salon listed there. Good luck!
