Antonio Alba (1873-1940) was a Spanish composer who created pedagogical piano works including his "6 Pièces faciles, Op.13" (6 Easy Pieces). His music represents the late Romantic style with accessible technical demands, making it suitable for students. "Fannycilla" appears to be one of these character pieces, likely featuring melodic charm and moderate technical challenges. Despite his solid craftsmanship, Alba remains relatively obscure in the standard repertoire, like many competent but not revolutionary composers of his era.
