Glazunov's Sérénade Espagnole (Spanish Serenade) is the second of two pieces Belyayev published in 1888 as Op. 20. The Melodie that precedes it is a long and rapturous song for cello and orchestra composed in 1887. The Sérénade Espagnole is a short and tuneful evocation of the Spain Glazunovand Belyayev visited in 1883. Scored for solo cello, winds, strings, and harp, the Sérénade Espagnole opens with a gracefully waltzing lyrical melody that slips from major to minor and back again set against a wash of wind colored arpeggios in the harp, music of delicate light and sweet delight. But the Sérénade Espagnole's contrasting central episode is too big a contrast, music with an almost parodistic Spanish-style tune played deep in the cello against a lumpen accompaniment. The return of the opening theme is too brief and the coda even briefer.
This is the violoncello and piano reduction.
