Pedro Albéniz y Basanta
(Logroño, 14 April 1795 - Madrid, 12 April 1855)

Spanish pianist, composer and teacher. He was the son of Mateo Pérez de Albéniz (c.1755-1831), a keyboard player and composer, from whom he received his first music lessons. Later he went to Paris for further training; he studied piano with Henri Herz and composition with Friedrich Kalkbrenner, and became a friend of Rossini. Upon his return to Spain he was organist at the church of S María in San Sebastián, and later at a church in Logroño. When Queen María Cristina founded the Madrid Conservatory he was appointed a professor, on 17 June 1830, and in 1834 he became organist of the royal chapel. He gave private instruction to Queen Isabel II, and was the first to introduce modern methods of keyboard technique and pedagogy into Spain. Although his compositions are of little interest, and are generally inferior to his father’s sonatas, he wrote a Método completo para piano (Madrid, 1840), which was the official textbook of the Madrid Conservatory. He is not related to Isaac Albéniz.
