| The final movement in Book Two of Iberia, "Triana" takes its name from a district in Seville that is known for its vibrant music, dance, and cultural traditions. The piece is a fiery and virtuosic showcase of Albeniz's command of Spanish musical idioms, featuring rapid-fire arpeggios, intricate rhythms, and bold harmonies. The piece begins with a lively, syncopated theme that is reminiscent of a traditional flamenco dance. The music builds in intensity as Albeniz explores various melodic and rhythmic variations on this theme, culminating in a thrilling climax that features thundering chords and dazzling runs up and down the keyboard. | |||

| "Vehement dance, drunken horn-like tonalities, transport of the Holy Spirit... the joy of God’s love in the soul of Jesus Christ." “I have always been struck by the fact that God is happy — and that His continual and ineffable joy inhabited the soul of Christ. Joy is, for me, a transport, an intoxication in the maddest senseâ€â€¨â€¨ (Messiaen, Trans. Dennis Vannier) | |||
