ENRIQUE GRANADOS FUND
During the 15 years in which the Academy was run by Enrique Granados, the school formed a whole generation of great  musicians which were outstanding both at national and international level: Robert Gerhard, Alexandre Vilalta, Frederic Longas, Conxita Badia, among others. As well as this, the Academy also became a very important center for cultural activities in the city of Barcelona, thanks to the concerts that were given there in which many of Granados¨own works were performed for the first time along with those of other composers of the period with whom he shared a great friendship. 

The documents that form this fund complete the documentary archives on the figure of Granados which can be found in other institutions ( The Museum of Music of Barcelona), especially through  concert programmes,  some letters, photographs and several original manuscripts such as the "Requiebros" or the "Intermezzo" of the Goyescas. Documents which bear testimony to his pedagogic facet have also remained, with manuscripts of conferences that he gave on the sonority and the use of the mechanism of the pedal, on which his method of teaching was based, and which was pioneer in Spain.
