de Falla, Stravinsky: El Amor brujo, El sombrero de tres picos, The Firebird,

These are good works. Very evocative, with attention to melody and instrumentation. I find it difficult not to relate these to incidental music. Probably due to auditive conditioning.

"El sombrero de tres picos" is one of my favorite pieces, the pace and rhythmic complexity of the main them is quite energizing.
