Granados
Return to List of Composers
Enrique Granados was born in Spain in 1867. This composer belonged to the Romantic period, and died in 1916.
GranadosEnrique
Granados (1867-1916) is often counted with
De
Falla and Albeniz, the trio of 19th century
Spanish composers who embraced a mood of nationalism in their music. They all
drew inspiration from Spanish folk music, and they all studied in Paris and were
influenced by Massenet and
Saint-Saens
to write spicy, chromatic harmonies and highly evocative tunes. Granados
wrote primarily for the piano, but he later orchestrated many of his piano
works, with great success. He made money in Spain by writing many Zarzuelas,
which are Spanish-style popular operettas. His most famous works are his
early set of Spanish dances for piano (also later orchestrated), and his mature
work, Goyescas, impressionistic pieces inspired by the art of Goya.
