Biography

Enric Granados i Campiña, born Pantaleón Enrique Joaquín Granados Campiña (27 July 1867 – 24 March 1916) was a Spanish and Catalan composer and pianist. Along with Isaac Albéniz, Joaquin Malats and other pianists, he was part of the modern Catalan school of piano, initiated by Pere Tintorer. He is known for his piano works, such as the Goyescas suite, on which he also based the opera of the same name. He created a piano school in Barcelona, the Acadèmia Granados, which has produced a long list of talented pianists, with such notable figures as Frank Marshall and Alicia de Larrocha. He died in the attack on the SS Sussex, in the English Channel, when it was torpedoed by the German navy during the course of World War I. He had received the Order of Charles III and the French Legion of Honour. Granados' personal collection is preserved in the Library of Catalonia and the Museu de la Música de Barcelona, and includes his epistolary collection with letters from Pablo Casals, Enrique Fernández Arbós, Jules Massenet, and others.
