A child prodigy, he made his debut at the age of 4 and his performance was so astonishing that some considered the possibility of fraud. At the age of 7 he gave concerts in Paris and at the same age wrote a  Pasadoble  that was played by military bands in Barcelona. A student of composition in various conservatories throughout Europe, his ambition was to study with Franz Liszt and he achieved that goal at the tender age of 18.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcert tours around the world and in the USA ensued and he settled permanently in Paris and became great friends with Claude Debussy. The body of works created by Albania includes three operas, and many pianoforte classics, among them his masterwork  Iberia \u0026amp; Espana  (one of his more notable pieces composed in 1890 contains the celebrated  Tango , which is known as one of his most popular works).  Espana  is more delightful and accessible (much easier) than  Iberia . It is made up of six piano pieces that subtly reflect the influences of the piano literature of the 19th century salon, and like  Iberia , the harmony and style of impressionism which Albeniz himself helped to create. Both works reveal characteristics of the highly individualized piano technique Albeniz developed from early childhood and perfected under the tutelage of Liszt.  - Bill Holcombe\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968613044518,"sku":"MPWR140","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPWR140.jpg?v=1697516312","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/albeniz-i-capricho-catalan-zortzico","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
