Granados, Enrique

Spanish composer and pianist.
(1867 - 1916).

Born 1867 in Lleida (Catalunya), died in 1916 (drowned in the disaster with the Sussex in World War I). Pupil of Pedrell and Pujol. In 1901 he founded the Barcelona conservatory. Together with Albeniz he belonged to the great composers of new national Spanish music.

The 12 Danzas espaņolas (Spanish Dances) are immensely effective, both in their original piano version and in various instrumental, and orchestral arrangements. The Goyescas of 1911 are more ambitious in their technical requirements. There are further compositions for piano including six pieces based on popular Spanish songs and seven Valses poeticos.
