Enrique Granados : Poet Of The Piano

Attribution
Walter Aaron ClarkPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2006Links
Description
Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of the most compelling figures of the late-Romantic period in music. In Enrique Granados: Poet of the Piano, Walter Aaron Clark offers the first substantive study in English of this virtuoso pianist, composer, and music pedagogue. Granados’s best-known music was inspired by the art of Francisco Goya, especially the Goyescas suite for solo piano that became the basis for the opera. Persistent financial difficulties forced him to devote time to teaching at the expense of composition, though as a result Granados made considerable contributions to piano pedagogy and music education in Barcelona through the music academy he founded there.

Spain’s Long Shadow : The Black Legend, Off-whiteness, And Anglo-American Empire

Attribution
María DeGuzmánPublication Details
BookUniversity of Minnesota Press2005Links
Description
England and the Netherlands, Spain’s imperial rivals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, imagined Spain as cruel and degenerate barbarians of la leyenda negra (the Black Legend), in league with the powers of “blackest darkness” and driven by “dark motives.” Surveying a broad range of texts and images from Poe’s “William Wilson” and John Singer Sargent’s “El Jaleo” to Richard Wright’s “Pagan Spain” and Kathy Acker’s Don Quixote, Spain’s Long Shadow shows how the creation of Anglo-American ethnicity as specifically American has depended on the casting of Spain as a colonial alter ego.

Evan S. ConnellPublication Details
BookCounterpoint2004Description
As he charts the arc of Goya’s career, he keeps pace with the tumultuous times as well as shrewdly sifting through two centuries of commentary, from Claudel’s shock and dismay that he sought to avoid the eyes and the image of God, to Baudelaire’s deadly accurate comment that “he painted the black magic of our civilization.” Connell has conjured Goya, his art, and his times with fierce originality and imagination.
