Teacher, Conductor, Organizer

Abstract Had Granados devoted himself exclusively to performing and composing, his accomplishments would still merit a major biography. We can appreciate his achievements more fully, however, by surveying the many other activities that competed for his limited time and energy. Granados was very committed to teaching, and his con- tributions in the realm of pedagogy are of lasting significance. He was also active as a conductor and organizer of concerts. In fact, he became involved in most aspects of musical life in Barcelona. He undertook these responsibilities at least in part because he needed the income to support a growing family. We begin with his teaching.
