Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual (1860 –
1909) was a Spanish pianist and composer best known for
his piano works based on folk music idioms.
Transcriptions of many of his pieces, such as Asturias
(Leyenda), Granada, Sevilla, Cadiz, Córdoba,
Cataluña, and the Tango in D, are important pieces for
classical guitar, though he never composed for the
guitar. The personal papers of Albéniz are preserved,
among other institutions, in the Biblioteca de
Catalunya.

Albéniz's 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.
Among these works are the "Seis Pequeños Valses" (6
Little Waltzes) for Piano Opus 25 Nos 1-6.
