Adolfo Salazar (1890-1958) is well regarded as a critic, but his musical compositions are little examined. The scope of Spanish music from the 1910s, when Salazar composed his French-sounding work for solo piano Tres preludios and Trois chansons de Paul Verlaine, to 1948, when he completed the choral piece Cuatro letrillas que se cantan en las obras de Cervantes, is rich and cosmopolitan.

This biography offers a fresh understanding of the life and work of Spanish composer Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), recognized as the greatest composer in the Spanish cultural renaissance that extended from the latter part of the 19th century until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The biography incorporates recent research on Falla, draws on untapped sources in the Falla archives, reevaluates Falla's work in terms of current issues in musicology, and considers Falla's accomplishments in their historical and cultural contexts.
