Samenvatting	"Although Spain has had a long tradition of keyboard music, A History of Spanish Piano Music is the first study in English of that rich heritage. Linton E. Powell surveys the lives and works of over 150 composers from the eighteenth century to the present and discusses the relevant schools of composition and the effects of social and political developments on the music of Spain. The author also investigates the extensive use of folk motifs, the frequently strong nationalistic tendencies of Spanish music, and the important regional styles of Spain. The first chapter deals with Spanish keyboard music from 1740 to 1840, with special attention to the first works for which the fuerte piano was designated and to the earlier role of the organ.

Powell assesses the far-reaching influence of the Italian-born Domenico Scarlatti as well as his several disciples, including Antonio Soler. Succeeding chapters chronicle the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period of renaissance for the keyboard music of Spain. Powell includes detailed discussions of the major figures of this golden age: Albeniz, Granados, Falla, Turina, and Mompou. The special influence of the guitar on Spanish keyboard music occupies a separate chapter. Powell concludes with a treatment of musical trends in Spain since World War II. He examines the strong continuing tradition of Spanish keyboard music through serial and post-serial techniques and its eventual striving for a more universal mode of expression. The author's analyses are illustrated throughout with musical excerpts, and the rhythmic patterns of many traditional Spanish dance forms are included in the glossary. This valuable musicological reference is completed by an extensive bibliography and appendixes listing published sources of Spanish keyboard music."--Dust jacket.
