Synopsis
Walter Aaron Clark here presents, for the first time in English, a detailed and accurate account of one of the most intriguing figures in the Romantic period. Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909), a renowned concert pianist, created a national style of Spanish piano music and also fostered the growth of the concerto, orchestral music, and opera in Spain. As a touring child prodigy who supposedly stowed away on a steamer to the New World, later studied with Liszt, and eventually got ensnared in a "Faustian pact" with the wealthy English librettist, Frances Burdett Money-Coutts, Albeniz has become somewhat of a legend. Based on a wealth of new and previously overlooked documentary evidence, this biography debunks the mythology surrounding his career, much of it spun by the composer himself.

Review
"...[a] thoroughly researched book....Albeniz's own existence was as colourful and self-mythologized as his piano pieces....This is a rewarding book about a fascinating and highly original artist."--Times Literary Supplement
"...this biography brings back to the attention of musicians and music lovers a composer of appealing music that helped to inspire the Spanish musical renaissance....Useful in all libraries."--Choice
