Gerónimo Giméniz (1854 - 1923) was born in Sevilla and by the age of twelve he was a violinist in a theatre orchestra in Cadiz. The intermezzo from 'El Baile de Luis Alonso' is in the repertoire of every Spanish light orchestra, closely rivalled in popularity by the intermezzo from 'La Boda de Luis Alonso'. It's an almost classical scherzo with its graceful themes.
