About Manuel Blancafort
Composer, born in La Garriga (Barcelona) in 1897 and died in Barcelona in 1987. He studied with his father, Joan Blancafort, and with J.Lamote de Grignon. He did not have a formal training as a pianist. As he explicitly recognized, the pianola roll factory Victoria, owned by his father, was his true academy where he learned a lot about music by perforating paper rolls of Debussy, Ravel or Stravinsky. Besides, his travels to Paris allowed him some intellectual contacts besides the purely commercial ones.
