This is an original work for piano four hands. The title is Spanish, meaning “Land of the Sun.” It evokes a dry climate with little rainfall, relentlessly illuminated by intense sunlight. It is well-known that many Hispanic people reside in America, and popular music reminiscent of flamenco or bullfighting scenes is favored there even more than in Japan. This piece, too, unfolds with rich undulations, interweaving diverse musical ideas ranging from melancholic melodies to passionate dances. The opening section is marked Moderato, in 6/8 time, and G major. It is characteristic of this composer, and quite appealing, that even amidst the brilliance, care is taken to prevent the volume from becoming excessive. The difficulty level is approximately between Czerny's 30 Etudes and 40 Etudes. It is dedicated to the composer's younger sister, Lorraine Ricau Lorange.
