Suite Española No. 1

The work originally consisted of four pieces: Granada, Cataluña, Sevilla and Cuba and was published in Madrid by Zozaya.

The remaining four movements, Cádiz, Asturias, Aragón and Castilla, had been published in other editions and were added to the original four.

[2] Despite the spurious nature of the Suite española, however, it has become one of the most performed of Albéniz's piano works, a favorite of both pianists and audiences.

The suite has been orchestrated by other hands, including a well-known version by Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos.

The remaining pieces, "Aragón" and "Castilla," have been transcribed for guitar solo but are more often heard in multiple-guitar transcriptions.
