life and work

Lliurat began his studies at the Escola Municipal de Música de Barcelona . He studied piano with Joan Baptista Pujol and harmony, counterpoint and composition with Josep Rodoreda i Santigós . He later continued his piano training with Enric Granados and Felip Pedrell . He deepened his skills with Charles de Bériot in Paris and with Arthur de Greef and Gustave Huberti in Brussels.

He lived in the Belgian capital for nine years and built a career as a concert pianist in Paris, Brussels and Leuven. He returned to Barcelona. Although opera as a genre was far more popular than the piano concerto in Barcelona and Madrid, it aroused great public interest in symphony and choral concerts in the Palau de la Música Catalana and the Gran Teatre del Liceu from 1908 onwards .

In an accident, he injured one of his hands so that he was forced to give up his career as a pianist. In 1904 he founded the "Revista Musical Catalana" and became its editor-in-chief. He participated in other national and international music publications such as "La Veu de Catalunya", "El Poble Català", "La Vanguardia" and "Le Monde Musical".

He wrote the treatises La música i els músics (1933) and Teoría de la música (1941). He worked with the Diccionario de la música ilustrado (1927) as an author.

As a composer, he left behind a number of works, of which the Orquestra Municipal de Barcelona premiered the work Tríptic (Triptych) (1956).
