Jorge del Moral was a Spanish composer and pianist who lived from 1908 to 1972. He was born in the city of Valencia, Spain, and showed an early interest in music. His parents recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue his passion for music. At the age of six, Jorge began taking piano lessons with a local teacher. He quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument and progressed rapidly. By the age of ten, he was already performing in public concerts and competitions. Jorge continued his musical studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Valencia, where he studied piano, composition, and orchestration. He was a dedicated student and spent many hours practicing and studying music theory. After completing his studies, Jorge began his career as a concert pianist and composer. He performed in many concerts throughout Spain and Europe, and his compositions were well-received by audiences and critics alike. Jorge's music was heavily influenced by Spanish folk music and the works of other Spanish composers such as Manuel de Falla and Joaquín Rodrigo. He also drew inspiration from the works of classical composers such as Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. One of Jorge's most famous works is his Piano Concerto No. 1, which he composed in 1945. The concerto is a virtuosic showcase for the piano, with intricate and challenging passages that demonstrate Jorge's technical skill as a pianist. The concerto also features lush orchestration and a strong Spanish influence, with rhythms and melodies that evoke the music of Andalusia. Another notable work by Jorge is his Suite Española, which he composed in 1952. The suite is a collection of six pieces for solo piano, each of which is inspired by a different region of Spain. The pieces range from lively and rhythmic to slow and contemplative, and showcase Jorge's ability to capture the essence of Spanish music in his compositions. Jorge's music was well-regarded during his lifetime, and he received many accolades for his work. He was awarded the National Music Prize of Spain in 1956, and his music was performed by some of the most prestigious orchestras and ensembles in the world.
