Who's behind the notes? Discover Charles-Valentin Alkan: The Enigmatic Virtuoso of the Piano
Charles-Valentin Alkan's "Innocenzia" is the 22nd piece in his collection "Esquisses" (Sketches), Op. 63. Unlike his more virtuosic works, this piece demonstrates Alkan's sentimental and evocative style. The Esquisses represent one of Alkan's most innovative collections, featuring 49 character pieces that explore different moods and technical ideas while arranged in all major and minor keys.
