Impressive Isaac Albéniz

This Spanish gentleman was born in Camprodón, Catalonia in 1860 and died in Cambo-les-Bains, France in 1909. His most famous teacher was Liszt. Other teachers included d’Indy and Dukas.

Albéniz was certainly not shy in performing his own piano works, and he most certainly had the technique to do so. He did quite a bit of touring from around the year 1880. He also wrote about two hundred and fifty works during the period of 1880 and 1892.

One of the composer’s crowning glories was his piano suite entitled Iberia, which he began writing in 1906 and which was published in four volumes.

An Amazing Albéniz Fact

Composing for piano did not stop Albéniz from writing songs, orchestral works and even operettas. His piano work Iberia was eventually orchestrated by Arbós.
