Disagree! The interlanguage link templates are very helpful in connecting readers to potentially helpful content on other wikis, and/or if a page on that topic is created in English the ILL template automatically removes the other-language links. ILLs are standard and good practice IMHO. jengod (talk) 23:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Pere-Enric de Ferran i de Rocabruna (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpe.ɾə ənˈrik fəˈran ˈi ˈrɔ.kəˈbɾu.nə], Barcelona, 1865 – Brussels, 1919) was a catalan-spanish music composer.

He received his first composition lessons from maestro Rodríguez Alcántara in Barcelona, completing his studies with maestro Enric Morera. He was considered one of the young promises of the musical panorama of the modernist period, and in the works he produced, he became known as a notable artist, distinguishing himself in his handling of instrumentation. [1] [2]

Among his works are an Andante premiered in Barcelona by the orchestra Crikboom; the stage works La Bodas de Camacho (libretto by Jacint Grau and Adrià Gual) and La Cegueta (libretto by Modest Urgell); the symphonic poem Le Soir (lyrics by the Belgian painter and poet Jean Delville); and Primavera, a work premiered in Brussels in 1914. [3]

He left the compositions published: Primavera, Berceuse, Au Rosignol; Ofrena, and Praeterita. Remained unfinished after his death: Les amantes de Palerme, opera in three acts; Barnum, operetta and El Silfo, symphonic poem. His documentary collection, with scores of more than 80 works, is archived and cataloged in the Library of Catalonia.[4]
