Work Overview
Tristeza del Corazon Roto is an arrangement for violin and piano, or solo piano, of the fourth movement of the 'La Vida Apasionada' suite of 8 movements that was originally composed for a string and percussion ensemble. Beginning in the key of A minor this work is the most intense work of the suite, portraying feelings of heartbreak and unrequited love. The sense of sadness is reinforced as the music modulates down to G minor at measure 34 and then there is a further descent to to F#minor from measure 68 to the final measure 86. There are several changes of time signature and mood throughout the work and some dramatic passages for the violin
