TheThree-Cornered Hat is the demonstration of the union between nationalism and cosmopolitanism in Falla's art, as it was the result of an international collaboration. The composer had left Paris three years earlier when, in 1917, he wrote The Miller's Wife & the Corregidor for the Teatro de Arte in Madrid, a pantomime based on an 1874 story by Pedro de Alarcón. Sergei Diaghilev, who had long been insisting that Falla compose something for his Ballets Russes, was in Madrid at the time and convinced him to expand that modest pantomime and orchestrate it for a large orchestra, transforming it into a true ballet. This music, so vividly Andalusian in color, is a completely original creation of Falla’s, as Spanish melodies and rhythms are never quoted directly but are always reinvented.
