Virginia Luque Piece: CATALUÑA, By: I ALBEÑIZ Cataluña by Isaac Albeñiz, May 29, 1860--May 18, 1909, Spanish pianist and composer best known for his piano works based on Spanish folk music. In 1883 he met the teacher and composer Felipe Pedrell, who inspired him to write Spanish music such as the Suite Española, Op. 47. The fifth movement of that suite, called Asturias (Leyenda) is probably most famous these days in the classical guitar world, even though it was originally composed for piano and only later transcribed to guitar by Francisco Tárrega. Many of his other compositions were also later transcribed to guitar — Albéniz himself preferred Tárrega’s guitar transcriptions to his original piano works. Some of his pieces were called after the names of Spanish cities, e.g. Cataluna, Sevilla, Granada or Castilla.
