It was true of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/classical_music\/2005\/06\/spanish-romantics-isaac-albeniz.html\">Albeniz<\/a>,  and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/classical_music\/2005\/07\/french-diversion.html\">Chausson<\/a>, was his teacher and friend.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/classical_music\/2005\/07\/spanish-modernists-5.html\">Rodrigo<\/a> was a pupil of Dukas, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/classical_music\/2005\/07\/joaquin-turina.html\">Turina<\/a> studied under d\u2019Indy and was friends with Debussy(1862-1918) and Ravel(1875-1937). But this was by no means a one-way traffic. The distinctive rhythms and shape of Spanish music influenced the French  composers we have already mentioned, with the exception of d\u2019Indy, although his vivid orchestral works are marked by a vein of folk-like melody to which Turina\u2019s interest in Andalusian indigenous music perhaps contributed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroresidentes.com\/Blogs\/classical_music\/2005\/09\/spanish-violinist-and-composer-pablo.html\">De Saraste<\/a>, however, clearly inspired some of the music of Lalo (1823-1892) &#8211; notably the Symphonie Espagnole for violin and orchestra ( it was written for the violinist) \u2013 but then that shouldn\u2019t have been surprising, for Lalo was of Spanish descent <\/p>\n<p>In the nineteenth and early twentieth century the artistic life of Paris became mid-wife to composers from many countries. Debussy was intrigued for a time by the music of Wagner and for one summer he was pianist to Tchaikovsky\u2019s patron Mme von Meck.  He knew Liszt and Verdi and was influenced by Javanese gamelan but eventually called himself \u2018musicien francais\u2019. I have a recording of all of his piano music and there I find strong connections with the Spanish music of his period, especially in Albeniz\u2019s \u2018Iberia\u2019, which he called \u2018impressions\u2019, in fact a favourite word too of Debussy\u2019s . He has a composition of the same name, and his \u2018Soirees dans Granada\u2019 is clearly Spanish influenced. <\/p>\n<p>Georges Bizet wrote several operatic works \u2013some of which were never finished He was a frustrated composer and even his most famous opera, &#8216;Carmen&#8217;, had a bad reception when first produced and only gained international favour after his death. Carmen of course is set in Spain and is as evocative of that country as one could wish, employing many its typical dance-rhythms. Incidentally he believed that he had based the famous \u2018Habanera\u2019 on a Spanish folk song. In fact it had been written by Sebastian Iradier(1809-1865), who was a composer and professor of singing at Madrid Conservatory. <\/p>\n<p>B.R.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several times in these postings we have come across Spanish composers studying in Paris and being influenced by French composers of their time.
