Habanera (Carmen) piano sheet music

The advanced arrangement is in D minor across four pages, with the habanera rhythm in the left hand throughout: a dotted bass figure that never lets up. Over it the right hand plays Carmen's chromatic descending line, with triplets and staccato turns. Practise the bass until it runs on its own, because the melody has to sound languid and unhurried against it.
