Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of the most compelling figures of the late-Romantic period in music. During his return voyage to Spain after the premiere of his opera Goyescas in New York, a German submarine torpedoed the ship on which he and his wife were sailing and they perished in the waters of the English Channel. His death was mourned on both sides of the Atlantic as a stunning loss to the music world, for he had died at the pinnacle of his career and his late works held the promise of greater things to come. While Granados's tragic demise casts a pall over his life story, author Walter Clark reveals an artist of remarkable versatility and individuality and sheds new light on his enduring significance.

Walter Aaron Clark is Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Riverside, where he is founder and director of the Center for Iberian and Latin American Music. He is the author of a critically acclaimed biography of Isaac Albeniz (Oxford, 1999) and the editor of From Tejano to Tango: Latin American Popular Music (Routledge, 2002).
