Spain fascinated 19th century composers in search of the exotic. In Spain, after all, Arab civilisation met Iberian, producing its own particular synthesis. The French composer Emmanuel Chabrier, at the wish of his parents a civil servant before turning solely to music, visited Spain in 1882. The musical result was his famous Spanish rhapsody, Espana.
