Enrique Granados Life

Enrique Granados Campia (27 July 1867 – March 24, 1916) was a Spanish pianist and composer of classical music.

Life

Pantaleón Enrique Joaqun Granados Campia was born in Lleida, Spain, and Enriqueta Campia de Herrera, a Spanish army captain who was born in Havana, Cuba, and Enriqueta Campia de Herrera, a Spanish army captain who was born in Granados, Spain. Francisco Jurnet and Joan Baptista Pujol taught piano in Barcelona, where he spent time as a youth. In 1887, he went to Paris to study. He was unable to enroll in Paris Conservatoire, but Charles-Wilfrid de Bériot, whose mother, soprano Maria Malibran, was of Spanish descent, was able to take private lessons with a conservatoire professor. Bériot maintained on extreme refinement in tone production, which had a major influence on Granados' teaching of pedal techniques. Granados' improvisational skills were also nurtured by the composer. His studies with Felip Pedill were just as important. In 1889, he returned to Barcelona. His first successes came at the end of the 1890s, with the opera Mara del Carmen, which attracted King Alfonso XIII's attention.

Granados took part in Tomás Bretón's 1903 competition for solo piano, earning a significant sum of 500 pesetas. Granados obliquely submitted his Allegro de concierto, Op. With a nearly unanimous vote, the jury declared him the winner in 46. Granados' victory brought them national attention.

Granados' suite for piano Goyescas, which became his most famous work, was unveiled in 1911. It's a series of six pieces based on Francisco Goya's paintings. Such was the success of this art that he was encouraged to extend it. In 1914, he wrote an opera based on the topic, but the European premiere was postponed due to World War I. On January 28, 1916, it was held for the first time in New York City and was well received. He was invited to perform a piano recital for President Woodrow Wilson just a few weeks later. Granados made live recordings for the New York-based Aeolian Company's "Duo-Art" system, which can be seen today and can be heard – his last recordings.
