The level of difficulty is intermediate.Isaac Albéniz 1860 – 1909Albéniz was born in the Gerona province of Spain. He was a child prodigy, first performing atthe age of four. As a boy, after trying to run away from home several times, he traveled theworld with his father giving concerts. He continued to perform, but became more and moreinterested in composition, inspired by the folk music and dances of his native land.Exceptional natural ability and years of learning, both in Spain and other European countries,added distinction to his work, much of the best of it for piano.Although he did not compose for guitar – a Spanish development and key to musicalexpression there – it was a prominent influence in his writing, and a number of significantclassical guitar transcriptions have resulted from the piano pieces. Mallorca is from arelatively early period of composition, about which Albéniz remarked, ' I believe that thepeople are right when they continue to be moved by Córdoba, Mallorca, by the copla ofthe Sevillanas, by the Serenata, and Granada. In all of them I now note that there is lessmusical science, less of the grand idea, but more colour, sunlight, flavour of olives ... music ofyouth, with its little sins and absurdities …' Classical guitarists have a lot to discover, and tobe grateful for, here.Mallorca is a piece where it really pays to prepare by noting (and then attending to!) thechanges in dynamics and tempo, which are frequent.
