Enrique Granados (1867-1916) was a SPANISH pianist and composer. Granados was born on the 27th July, 1867 in LĂ©rida, Catalonia to an officer in the Spanish army, and received his first musical instruction from an army bandmaster. Further studies in Barcelona with Jurnet (piano) and Pedrell (composition) prepared the young musician for a brief but highly influential stay in Paris (1887-1889), during which he worked under well-known Parisian pianist and teacher Charles de BĂ©riot (son of the famous violinist of the same name).
