She was 1.52 m tall. As a child, she banged her head on the floor to be allowed to play the piano. She was Catalan. She was a pianist—one of the greatest. Her mission? To spread the Spanish repertoire. Her name was Alicia de Larrocha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"380\" data-start=\"115\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"626\" data-start=\"382\"\u003eWhen she passed away in 2009 at age 89, Nelson Freire wrote, \u003cem data-end=\"525\" data-start=\"443\"\u003e\"I truly loved her; she was a modest woman, and her playing shone like the sun.\"\u003c\/em\u003e Acclaimed worldwide, she stood alongside Victoria de Los Angeles as one of Spain’s finest artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"626\" data-start=\"382\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1100\" data-start=\"628\"\u003eLarrocha’s journey began at three, seated at a piano. At four, she studied under Frank Marshall, a student of Granados.

Despite her small hands, she developed an airy, precise touch, even daring to record Rachmaninov’s Third Concerto. But beyond technical mastery, her playing held a profound sense of life and imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1100\" data-start=\"628\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1419\" data-start=\"1102\"\u003eThough trained in Bach, Mozart, and Chopin, Larrocha fought to bring Spanish composers to global audiences. Albéniz and Granados owe much of their fame to her.
