This suite for Piano solo was written in 1886 and was Albneniz's first attempt at suite composition and arrangement. It consists of eight folk-like melodies and nationalistic dance movements which refer to Spanish towns and landscapes.

Suite Espagnole Op.47 reflects the composer's characteristically recognisable preference for large sonorous chords, for guitar-like tremolo sounds and for rhythmic and harmonic effects taken from folk-music.
