	Enrique Granados - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enrique Costanzo Granados y Campiña (July 27, 1867 – March 24, 1916) was a Spanish composer and pianist of classical music; he is commonly considered to be a representative of musical Nationalism, and as such his music is in a uniquely Spanish style.
		Granados wrote piano music, chamber music (a piano quintet, music for violin and piano), songs, zarzuelas, and an orchestral tone poem based on Dante's Divine Comedy.
		Granados was an important influence on at least two other important Spanish composers and musicians, Manuel de Falla and Pablo Casals.

		Ironically, he had had a morbid fear of water for his entire life, and he was returning from his first-ever series of ocean voyages at the time of his death.
		Many of his piano compositions have been transcribed for the classical guitar (A stringed instrument usually having six strings; played by strumming or plucking) and are some of the most beautiful music in the guitar repertoire: examples include Dedicatoria, Danza No. 5.
		Granados was an important influence on at least two other important Spanish composers and musicians, Manuel de Falla (Spanish composer and pianist (1876-1946)) and Pablo Casals (An outstanding Spanish cellist noted for his interpretation of Bach's cello suites (1876-1973)).

	Jewels of Spain : Enrique Granados
		From 1887 to 1889 Granados was in Paris, studying under Charles de Bériot, lodging with his compatriot pianist Ricardo Viñes, and reveling in an existence devoted equally to music and to bohemianism.
		In his concert appearances Granados played many of his own works, including the Spanish dances and the piano version of his Goyescas (a piano suite named after scenes from the paintings and tapestries of Goya and episodes from the Goyesque period in Madrid, a time marked by bloodshed and political upheaval).
		Like Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909), Granados was a member of the national school of composers in Spain who felt that a nation should build its art music on the foundation of its native folk-songs and folk-dances.

	Enrique Granados
		Granados is one of those great masters of his art who had the misfortune, at least as far as criticism goes, of having lived and worked near the end of the Romantic era.
		Granados did not express this joyous sense of life with the raw directness of Spanish folk music, however: he sublimated it, worked it over, and through his prodigous art forged it into something deeply refined.
		Granados' crowning achievement is his suite "Goyescas", written in the period 1912-1914 and inspired by his lifelong love of the paintings of the Spanish painter Francisco Goya.

	Enrique Granados : Poet of the Piano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of the most compelling figures of the late-Romantic period in music.
		His death was mourned on both sides of the Atlantic as a stunning loss to the music world, for he had died at the pinnacle of his career, and his late works held the promise of greater things to come.
		Granados was among the leading pianists of his time, and his eloquence at the keyboard inspired critics to dub him the "poet of the piano." 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.

		I have to take exception to the liner notes on the disc, which mention "cyclical form." Granados doesn't employ cyclical form as much as he has certain riffs that he returns to, as the mood takes him.
		Granados, however, in his orchestral and chamber work falls into both pits.
		Granados loved to revise, which of course has given generations of scholars and editors years of work as they prepare "definitive" editions.

		The 10 Valses Sentimentales are intimate, nostalgically tinged character pieces whose modest demands might attract pianists looking for an alternative to Schumann's Kinderszenen.
		Granados' mellower side always brings out the best in Douglas Riva, whose quiet authority and poetic instincts are well captured by Naxos' slightly distant yet full-bodied pickup.

		This remarkable book brings together in one sturdy, yet inexpensive volume four of the most memorable and frequently played sets of works for the piano by Enrique Granados (1867-1916), one of Spain’s greatest modern composers.
		The exquisite Spanish Dances, a suite of early works, were much admired by the leading composers of the day, among them Massenet, Saint-Saëns and Grieg, not only for their distinctive musical qualities, but also for the new direction in Spanish music which they heralded.
		Less well known in America are the beautiful Escenas poéticas and Escenas románticas, two suites which reflect Granados’ interest in the music of Grieg, Schumann and Liszt, yet are filled with the great Spanish composer’s original modulations and characteristic melodic writing.
