Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual (1860 – 1909) was a Spanish virtuoso pianist, composer, and conductor. He is one of the foremost composers of the Post-Romantic era who also had a significant influence on his contemporaries and younger composers. He is best known for his piano works based on Spanish folk music idioms. Isaac Albéniz was close to the Generation of '98. His early works were mostly "salon style" music. Albéniz's first published composition, Marcha Militar, appeared in 1868. A number of works written before this are now lost. He continued composing in traditional styles ranging from Jean-Philippe Rameau, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt until the mid-1880s. He also wrote at least five zarzuelas, of which all but two are now lost.

Transcriptions of many of his pieces, such as Asturias (Leyenda), Granada, Sevilla, Cadiz, Córdoba, Cataluña, Mallorca, and Tango in D, are important pieces for classical guitar, though he never composed for the guitar. Some of Albéniz's personal papers of are held in the Library of Catalonia. As one of the leading composers of his era, Albéniz's influences on both contemporary composers and on the future of Spanish music are profound. As a result of his extended stay in France and the friendship he formed with numerous composers there, his composition technique and harmonic language has influenced aspiring younger composers such as Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. His activities as conductor, performer and composer significantly raised the profile of Spanish music abroad and encouraged Spanish music and musicians in his own country.

Rumores de la Caleta (Murmurs from the Small Beach), Op. 71, No. 6, is a composition by Isaac Albéniz. The piece is subtitled "Malagueña". It is a "sensual and emotional courting dance from Málaga, although the piece was actually named after La Caleta beach in Cadiz.

Since it has been transcribed for guitar duet by Miguel Llobet it has become a well-known piece for classical guitar. It has been played and recorded by guitarists such as Julian Bream duet with John Williams and many others. Susan Miller said of it, "the soulfulness of Sevilla slid imperceptibly into Rumores de la Caleta. The slow, measured beats took on a life of their own, gathering the shadows, the passions, the cries of lovers and of hunted, wounded animals on moonlit night.".
