The composition of Albeniz's "La Vega" completed in 1897. It is interesting to note that Albeniz almost completely abandoned the composition of piano works after "La Vega", although his fame was mainly focused on the works for this instrument. Although "La Vega" was planned as part of a cycle of melodies written on poems by his patron Money-Coutts and was therefore used as an independent piece of an orchestra suite, this work was originally composed for piano. According to the autographed dating found on the last page of the manuscript, Albeniz finished "La Vega" at first on January 26, 1897 in Auteuil, in a Paris neighborhood. In the course of the following weeks, decided to make profound changes. He deleted the last five pages of the Vega, added six at the beginning and composed a different ending of seven more pages. This revision ended in Paris on February 14, 1897, and Albeniz wrote down on the last page: "La Alhambra", symphonic suite on poems by F. B. Money-Coutts: nº 1: "La Vega".
