Alicia's Hands

Alicia de Larrocha (1923-2009) was one of the world's greatest pianists, loved for her elegant performances of Mozart and regarded as an incomparable interpreter of Albéniz, Granados, and other Spanish composers.
From the age of six until her death, she travelled to stages around the world, performing more than 4,000 concerts. In fact, she claimed that she lived in airplanes. She devoted her whole life to the study and perfection of music.
Her personal archive contains 32 boxes full of a life of correspondence, which speaks to us of her most intimate feelings, her joys and her frustrations, as well as the yearning and loneliness of a public life far away from family and friends.
