(10186) Albeniz Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 20 April 1996 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
A child prodigy, the Spanish composer and pianist Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) studied at the conservatories of Leipzig and Brussels. In Paris he was influenced by Vincent d´Indy and Paul Dukas. His fame rests chiefly on his piano music, notably the suite Iberia, which was colored by the spirit of Spanish folk music.Naming citation (19991123/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
