		Diaghilev initially wanted to adapt another Falla work, 'Nights in the Garden of Spain,' into a ballet but Falla was not keen on this and, with his fondness for the story, suggested that they rework the tale of the magistrate and the miller's wife instead.
		Falla passed and the idea was taken up by Stravinsky - the result was 'Pulcinella.') The head of the Ballet Russes agreed: the scenario was rewritten, Leonide Massine was engaged to do the choreography and Pablo Picasso provided the costumes and scenery (he also painted a portrait of the composer).
		Falla catches many of the specific acts and movements of the characters, in what is called in ballet, an imitative way or in film music parlance, by mickey-mousing.

		But when Falla was an adult with a home and children, he decided it was time for his rink of dreams.
		Falla divided the afternoon after-school schedule into two 75-minute sessions, with hockey players and figure skaters alternating every other day for the coveted "first ice." Between sessions, Jack, the "human Zamboni," scraped the surface.
		Falla also writes about other rinks he's visited, including two in Ontario, and one in Duluth, Minn. One owner, Laverne Fryberger, "would have needed a seat belt to keep her in her chair when she talked about her rink," writes Falla.

		After World War I, Falla's style became less overtly folkloristic (if no less inherently Spanish), gradually to be replaced by a more severe and ascetic style, influenced in equal measure by the early Spanish polyphonic masters, the neo-classical idiom of Stravinsky, and the traditional Flamenco singin style Canto Hondo.
		Falla, like Ravel, was a fastidious perfectionist, who would agonize over each and every bar, and usually took years to complete a work.

		Falla fue el único compositor participante en el homenaje dedicado a Góngora en 1927 que sirvió para definir a la generación de poetas.

		Falla personificó, con mucho sacrificio, una operación casi titánica: la de liberar a España de lo chiquito y localista para hacerla entrar en el coro de las naciones musicales cultas.
