| Summary: | "Coming to terms with twentieth century Spanish nationalism and its musical manifestations demands the reconstruction of a world with which not many Westerners are familiar, that of pre-Napoleonic Spain with its vast global empire, and its calamitous misfortunes through the nineteenth century. While other nations looked to their ascending status for their nationalist spirit, a demoralized and defeated Spain would cling to a romanticized past. And no artist epitomized that past better than Francisco Goya. It is impossible to understand Enrique Granados' mature works, full of folkloric asides and distinctly Spanish idioms, without understanding Goya's representations of Imperial Madrid. Goya and Granados form two bookends on the nineteenth century that work together to form a framework for the blossoming of Spanish nationalist music. Goyescas would be their crowning achievement."--Introduction. |
