Enrique Granados : Poet Of The Piano

  • Enrique Granados : Poet Of The Piano

  • Attribution

    Walter Aaron Clark

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2006

  • 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.

Sacred Passions : The Life And Music Of Manuel De Falla

  • Sacred Passions : The Life And Music Of Manuel De Falla

  • Attribution

    Carol A. Hess

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2005

  • Description

    The work of composer Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) ranges from late-romantic salon pieces to evocations of flamenco to stark neoclassicism. Building on over a decade of research, Hess examines Falla’s work in terms of musical style and explores the cultural milieus in which he worked. With superb analysis of his music and enlightening detail about its critical reception, Hess also examines Falla’s status in some circles as little more than a high-class pop composer, given the mass appeal of much of his music. She incorporates recent research on Falla, draws upon untapped sources in the Falla archives, and reevaluates his work in terms of current issues in musicology.
