Manuel de Falla is regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century. His 1950 ballet El Amor Brujo (Spellbound Love), incorporates beautiful Andalusian folk themes. The Ritual Fire Dance from this ballet was inspired by a traditional ceremony in which people would worship the fire god by dancing around and leaping through a fire. It is famous for it exhilerating trills and ornaments.
Hoffmeister's "Duo in B-flat Major, Op. 13, No. 4" is a popular classical composition for violin and viola. The piece has three movements: Allegro Moderato, Adagio, and Rondo Allegretto. Hoffmeister was a German composer and music publisher known for his extensive work on the flute. He created over 25 concertos and chamber works for the flute, considering Vienna's growing number of amateur musicians. He also composed eight operas, over 50 symphonies, several concertos, a vast amount of string chamber music, piano music, and collections of songs.
