Federico Mompou is a Classical artist from Spain, born on April 16, 1893.

Frederic (Federico) Mompou (April 16, 1893–June 30, 1987) was a Spanish composer. He is best known for his solo piano music and his songs. Mompou was born in Barcelona (Spain), and studied piano there at the Conservatorio del Liceo before going to Paris to study with Ferdinand Motte-Lacroix in 1911. Being rather shy personally, he abandoned a solo career and chose to pursue composition instead. In 1914 he returned to Barcelona, fleeing the war. .
