Notes

1. La Argentinita—Encarnacion López Júlvez—and Federico García Lorca were intimate friends and artistic collaborators until Lorca's death in 1936. She appeared as the featured dancer in his first produced play, El Malefício de la Mariposa, in 1920. The two artists recorded and popularized old Spanish songs in the early 1930s, and with other artists they formed the Madrid ballet in 1933.

2. See also the 1990/1993 film, When the Fire Burns: The Life and Music of Manuel de Falla, for accounts by family and colleagues of Falla's growing wish that performances of El Amor Brujo be discontinued.
