The production attracted the attention of the famous impresario Sergei Diaghilev, who persuaded Falla to rework and rescore the music for a ballet. In that form, with sets by Picasso, it was first performed in London in 1919 as \u003ci\u003eThe Three-Cornered Hat\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eEl sombrero de tres picos\u003c\/i\u003e) and enjoyed an immediate success.\u003cbr\u003eBased on a story by Pedro Antonio de Alarcon, the work is full of wit and vitality, enhanced with the flavor of Andalusian folk music that permeates Falla's music of the period. \u003ci\u003eGrove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians\u003c\/i\u003e praised this captivating ballet as the most humorous of Falla's works, and its initial popularity has remained undiminished. A staple of the ballet and orchestral repertoires, the complete score of \u003ci\u003eThe Three-Cornered Hat\u003c\/i\u003e is now available in this attractive, high-quality edition, reproduced from an authoritative 1921 English score.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50232868339985,"sku":"CIN0486296474G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52325543117073,"sku":"CIN0486296474VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53408454017297,"sku":"GOR014910934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486296474.jpg?v=1750698104"},{"product_id":"ritual-fire-dance-dance-of-terror-book-manuel-de-falla-9780711935747","title":"Ritual Fire Dance \/ Dance of Terror","description":"Title: The Squire.
