The video opens with Maria stepping onto the stage and kneeling, as the aria is intended to be sung. It then tells the story of this poignant aria through the designer’s unique style, using the collage technique to create unique textures, expressions, and effects.
This work was originally written for piano, but Laura Lootens has arranged it herself for solo guitar. Born in 1860, Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz was mainly a pianist and wrote primarily for the piano. More than any other musician, he succeeded in incorporating the Spanish guitar idiom and folklore into his style.
Thus, for instance, his works contain allusions to rasgueado, a guitar technique that strums all six strings percussively in rapid succession, as we often hear in flamenco. So it is no wonder that many of Albéniz’s piano works have also been performed on the guitar.
This piece is a track from Laura Lootens album of works by Albéniz on CAvi music. Laura Lootens – Albéniz: España, Op. 165: No. 3, Malagueña. Allegretto (Arr. Laura Lootens) Laura Lootens / Albéniz: Suite Española, Malagueña and Other Works

In 1839, soon after publishing it, Schumann called it in a letter my favorite work, remarking that The title conveys nothing to any but Germans. The work’s title was inspired by the character of Johannes Kreisler from works of E. T. A. Hoffmann.
The recording of it now becomes the headline work in Ott’s latest Deutsche Grammophon album, Beethoven. The pianist has paired it with a series of solo works, including “Für Elise” and the “Moonlight” Sonata.

“In a world where climate change is at the heart of our attention, these eight delightfully unhinged seasons are scattered across a wildly singular time. They cast an artistic blur on our perception of what has always seemed taken for granted, unshakeable: the seasons with their established climates, our perception of time and space, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons…”
