Suite Venezolana: Movement I. Registro

(Starts at 0:00-1:28)

"Lauro’s Suite Venezolana has four diverse movements: Registro (Preludio), Danza Negra, Canción, and Vals. Lauro composed the suite in 1951-1952 while he was imprisoned for speaking out against the Venezuelan government." - Jonathan Richter

Rubato / Accelerando / Ritardando: Listen for how the performer expressively slows then rushes the tempo throughout the piece, rather than playing in strict time!
