Juaquín Turina– Retrato (Saxophone Nonet + Flute, Piccolo, & Contrabassoon)

This is mvt. 1 from “Álbum de viaje”, Op.15.

Retrato means “portrait”. It is dedicated to Maria Martinez Sierra. Whether this movement offers a portrait of the lady is not established. Regardless, it is a delightful work.
