The musical life of a small provincial town like Cádiz - though it was famous for the celebrated \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMusica instrumentale sopra le 7 ultime parole del nostro Redentore in croce\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e specially composed by Haydn for her cathedral in 1785 - had little to offer to a boy like Manuel who had displayed a great disposition for music.

In 1905 he won the competition for compositions held by the “Academia de Bellas Artes” with the opera La vida breve to a libretto by Carlos Fernández Shaw, but when the work was not performed - although the prize promised this - Falla decided to leave Madrid to go to one of the great cultural capitals of Europe: Paris.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.ricordi.com\/en-US\/Composers\/F\/Falla-Manuel-de.aspx                                          \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Flutes Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55201788559694,"sku":"CH00430","price":18.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5335\/7646\/files\/musch00430_0.jpg?v=1765894340","url":"https:\/\/www.allflutesplus.com\/products\/de-falla-suite-of-spanish-folksongs-for-flute-and-piano","provider":"All Flutes Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
