I think the piece Aragonaise will be very upbeat and fast in tempo. It looks like it has a lot of repetition in the notes or patterns. The piece Habanera also seems repetitive but with less notes to play overall. The piece sounds sort of sinister or foreboding. It's also a grand and dramatic piece. It was upbeat for certain parts and more laid back during other parts. The way it continuously transferred from slow to fast and switched up often was very intriguing. After fully listening to both I don't think they will be too difficult to play and learn, however it seems like in order to fully understand and play these pieces to the best of my ability it will require a lot of time and practice.
