In Andalusian dialect to an original Spanish libretto by Carlos Fernández-Shaw, La vida breve was written between August 1904 and March 1905 but not produced until 1913. "The central figure of 20th-century Spanish music, [Falla] addressed over the course of his career many of the salient concerns of modernist aesthetics (nationalism, neo-classicism, the role of tonality, parody and allusion) from a unique perspective. Like many Spaniards, he was attracted to French culture. His predilection for the French music of his time, especially that of Debussy, caused him to be misunderstood in his own country, where conservative-minded critics attacked his music for its oversusceptibility to foreign influences. Reaction to Falla's music by his compatriots often mirrored the convulsive political changes the country underwent before and during the Spanish Civil War (1936 9), a period of intense cultural activity whose musical manifestations nonetheless remain relatively unexplored."
