Joaquín Nin y CastellanosTemplate:Family name footnote (29 September 1879 – 24 October 1949)[1] was a Cuban pianist and composer. Nin was the father of Anaïs Nin.
Biography
He was son of the Catalan writer Joaquim Nin Tudó and Àngela Castellanos Perdomo, a Cuban from Camagüey.[2] Nin studied piano with Moritz Moszkowski and composition at the Schola Cantorum (where he taught from 1906 to 1908). He toured as a pianist and was known as a composer and arranger of popular Spanish folk music. Nin was a member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando of Madrid and the French Legion of Honor.[3]
Married since 1902 with the Cuban singer Rosa Culmell, they were the parents of writer Anaïs Nin, businessman Thorvald Nin, and composer Joaquín Nin-Culmell.
Joaquím Nin appears as one of the characters in the novel The Island of Eternal Love (Riverhead, 2008), by Cuban writer Daína Chaviano.
Memory
In her memoirs and fiction, his daughter Anaïs Nin often attempts to consider aspects of her own nature by recalling how her father treated her as a child. Her "unexpurgated" diary volume Incest: From a Journal of Love describes an incestuous relationship with him in adulthood. She described him as an egotistical Don Juan and would often imitate him by affecting a "Doña Juana" persona.
