This rhythmic habanera by Ignacio Álvarez has been arranged for the intermediate pianist. It has been transposed to the key of D minor and features parallel sixths in the right hand and a strict eighth note and sixteenth rest rhythm throughout. Not much is known about this Argentine composer, although the piece seems to have first been published in 1860. This is a great introductory piece for anyone looking to explore the Latin genre of music.
