Manuel de Falla (1876–1946) contributed significantly to the traditional Spanish folk elements. Among his most celebrated pieces are the ballet "El amor brujo" (Love the Magician), a passionate flamenco-tinged masterpiece; the opera "La vida breve" (The Short Life), a poignant tale of love and loss; and the puppet opera "El retablo de Maese Pedro" (Master Peter's Puppet Show), a satirical gem. For those seeking a showcase of his masterful piano writing, the "Siete Canciones Populares Españolas" (Seven Popular Spanish Songs) offer a captivating glimpse into Spain's musical heritage.
