Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual () ( 29 May 1860, Camprodon – 18 May 1909, Cambo-les-Bains ) was a Spanish pianist and composer best known for his piano works based on folk music idioms.

In 1883, he met the teacher and composer Felip Pedrell, who inspired him to write Spanish music such as the Chants d ' Espagne.

During the late 1880s, the strong influence of Spanish style is evident in Albéniz's music.

Pedrell was a leading figure in the development of nationalist Spanish music.

Gilbert Chase, in his book The Music of Spain, describes Pedrell ’ s influence on Albéniz: “ What Albéniz derived from Pedrell was above all a spiritual orientation, the realization of the wonderful values inherent in Spanish music ".

Felipe Pedrell inspired Isaac Albéniz to write Spanish music such as the Suite española, Op.

In addition to the Spanish spirit infused in Albéniz ’ s music, he incorporated other qualities as well.

Chase describes music from this period, “ Taking the guitar as his instrumental model, and drawing his inspiration largely from the peculiar traits of Andalusian folk music – but without using actual folk themes – Albéniz achieves a stylization of Spanish traditional idioms that while thoroughly artistic, gives a captivating impression of spontaneous improvisation ... Cordoba is the piece that best represents the style of Albéniz in this period, with its hauntingly beautiful melody, set against the acrid dissonances of the plucked accompaniment imitating the notes of the Moorish guslas.
