Danse des Lutins
Alfred Cottin
This is a romantic piece by Alfred Cottin (1863 -1923) who lived and worked in Paris. He was a student of the Catalan Jaime Bosch and had a musical school in Paris. Many pieces of his moderate oeuvre were dedicated to his students.
Cottin was a friend of Francisco Tarrega, the one the latter dedicated his world-famous Recuerdos de la Alhambra to: "Hommage à l'eminent artiste Alfred Cottin".
Danse des Lutins -Goblin's Dance- seems to deal with a reasonably friendly Goblin who is waltzing along (3/8 measure). Try to play it swift and in an joyful mood.
