Joaquín Malats y Miarons (1872-1912)
Abstract
Joaquín Malats was considered one of the most prestigious turn-of-the-century pianists throughout his career.After completing his studies at the Barcelona Music School with Joan Batista Pujol, he moved to Paris, where he was awarded first prize in piano at the Conservatoire in 1893.Ten years later, in 1903 he was awarded the first-ever Diemer prize, which gave a significant boost to his career on an international level. He enjoyed the support of the press, who praised the variety of his repertoire, featuring works by Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Liszt. Studying, performing and disseminating Albéniz’s Iberia became his most ambitious project during the last stage of his career,Today, twelve of his own works have been conserved, corresponding to the romantic archetypes of the salon piano and nationalistic Spanish music, including the Serenata Española and the Trio in Bb.
