Enrique Costanzo Granados y Campiña was born on July 27, 1867, in Lèrida, Catalonia, Spain. His father was born in Cuba, and served in the Spanish Military. From the age of 8, young Granados studied piano in Barcelona under the tutelage of Joan Baptista Pujol. From 1883-1887 he studied composition with Pedrell, who was also the teacher of 'Isaac Albeniz' and Manuel de Falla. In 1887 Granados went to Paris for two years. There he studied at Paris Conservatory and established direct connections with such composers as 'Gabriel Faure', Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and Camille Saint-Saëns.
In 1889 he returned to Barcelona to begin his career as a concert pianist. In 1892 he gave the Spanish premiere of the Piano Concerto by Edvard Grieg. His own compositions of that time were written in a nationalistic and neo-romantic style, bearing some influences from Frédéric Chopin and Edvard Grieg. During the 1890's Granados wrote piano pieces, chamber works, and nationalistic songs inspired by the paintings and sketches of Madrid, mostly by Francisco Goya, whom Granados idolized. His love of the Spanish folklore was expressed in his theatrical work in the form of zarzuela, a Spanish musical theatre, titled 'Maria del Carmen'. It was premiered in Madrid in 1898, and earned him the attention of King Alfonso XIII and a Royal pension and a decoration from the King. In 1901 he founded the Granados Academy of Music, that was to become a reputable school in Barcelona. From 1905-1911 he worked on his suite for piano, titled 'Goyescas', which was a set of six pieces based on paintings of Goya. In 1911 Granados himself premiered his suite for piano in Barcelona, then in the Salle Pleyel in Paris, where it was so successful that he was awarded the French Legion of Honour. On the commission from the Paris Opera, Granados expanded his piano suite into the same-name opera, which eventually became the most famous of his works. The opera 'Goyescas' was completed in 1914, but the outbreak of the First World War prevented it from being staged in Paris. In 1916, he made a voyage to the United States for the premiere of 'Goyescas' at New York's Metropolitan Opera. After the successful premiere, Granados was invited to perform a piano recital for President Wilson.
On his way back to Spain he stopped in Liverpool, England, then boarded the steamer Sussex for Dieppe, France. While crossing the English Channel, the Sussex was attacked by torpedoes from a German submarine and sank. Granados, who had a fear of water, did make it into a life raft, but saw his wife struggling in the water. He jumped out of the lifeboat in an attempt to save his wife Amparo. They both drowned. That was on March 24, 1916.- Editor

Benet Rossell was a multidisciplinary artist: painter, draftsman, video artist, poet, engraver, sculptor, musician, performer, screenwriter and, since the late 1960s , experimental filmmaker. In 1955 he moved to Barcelona to begin his pre-university studies. In 1962 he was invited to Paris to give a lecture at the International Congress of Economists. There he developed his interest in cinema and theater. In the early 1970s he published humorous drawings in newspapers such as 'Les Lettres françaises', 'La Quinzaine Littéraire' or 'Le Jardin des Modes'. He celebrated his first individual exhibition in Paris in 1970 in the gallery La Bazarine, where it's already evident his attraction to the diminutive in his drawings, that he calls "made by blind people", almost microscopic, and which were accompanied by magnifying glasses to be able to observe them. Rossell's art is born of precariousness and is claimed in the small and everyday spectacle of life. His work plays with the bewilderment that causes simplicity, with the complexity of what is simple, is interested in what is behind, in the corners, so it is not easily seen, since the essence of everything tends to be hidden.- Actress
