Secondly, we are excited to announce that Editorial Boileau (Barcelona) has several forthcoming publications in conjunction with the centenary—including a piano score app for iPad!

First, there is a Spanish translation of Enrique Granados: Poet of the Piano, by Walter Aaron Clark. This will be a newly revised edition of the two prior editions published by Oxford University Press.

Second, Ed. Boileau will be issuing the first ever publication of the Complete Correspondence of Enrique Granados, prepared by Miriam Perandones. This will be an essential source of new information about Granados and the basis for future research into his life and works.

Lastly, Ed. Boileau has also created an app for iPad with the 254 piano works by Granados that are included in the Complete Piano Works of Enrique Granados (directed by Alicia de Larrocha and Douglas Riva). This app (coming soon to the App Store) will make individual scores of the complete works available instantly throughout the world.
