 Isaac Albéniz (1860–1909) was a Spanish pianist and composer best known for his works for the piano that drew inspiration from Spanish folk music. His most famous composition is probably "Asturias (Leyenda)," a piece originally written for the piano but often transcribed for classical guitar. He is also well-known for his suite "Iberia," a complex and demanding set of piano pieces that capture the spirit and landscapes of Spain. Though Albéniz was classically trained, his music frequently explored the idioms of Flamenco and other forms of Spanish folk music, blending them into a classical framework. His compositions have had a lasting impact on both piano and guitar repertoire and are still widely performed today.

His compositions, deeply rooted in Spanish folk music traditions, are frequently transcribed for the guitar and are considered some of the most important works in the instrument's repertoire. One of the most famous pieces is "Asturias (Leyenda)," which has become a standard work for classical guitar although it was originally written for piano. These works are celebrated for their technical demands as well as their expressive range, and they continue to be foundational pieces for classical guitarists exploring Spanish music.
