Juan Manén
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juan Manén (1883- ? ) was a Spanish violinist and composer, born at Barcelona. His progress in music was so rapid that his father exhibited him as a piano prodigy. Having studied the violin under D. Alard, he suddenly appeared as a violinist, and met with such success that in Germany he was compared to his famous countryman Sarasate. Likewise he attracted much attention as a composer, not only in Spain, but perhaps to even a greater degree in Germany, where he resided at different times for protracted periods. His works comprise: the operas Giovanni di Napoli (1903), Acté (1903), Der Fackeltanz (1909); the symphonic poem Neueva Catalonia; a violin concerto; a suite for violin and piano; and a number of exquisite miniatures for violin and orchestra.
