Con Vida (Translated "With Life") Performance Time: 3:05

This section uses punctuating rhythms while being very melodic and lyrical. There are a multitude of meter changes throughout the entire movement that easily flow from one to the other with a natural feel.

Mi Amor (Translated "My Love") Performance Time: 3:16

This is written in a Habanera dance style with extremely sensual melodies.

Olé (Translated "Bravo, Well Done!") Performance Time: 2:22

This begins with a typical unison theme followed by the same melody as a duet. From this point on, it moves through various types of syncopated sections before returning to the beginning theme. Exciting!
