El sombrero de tres picos (The Three-Cornered Hat or Le tricorne) is a ballet choreographed by Leonide Massine with music by Manuel de Falla commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev and premiered complete in 1919. The story – a magistrate infatuated with a miller's faithful wife attempts to seduce her – derives from the novella by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón (born in Granada) and has been traced in film several times, usually in Spanish. The music has these sections:
- Introducción y escena — Introduction and Scene
- La tarde — Afternoon
- Danza de la molinera (Fandango) — Dance of the Miller's Wife
- Las uvas — The Grapes
- Danza de los vecinos (Seguidillas) — Dance of the Neighbors
- Danza del molinero (Farruca) — Dance of the Miller
- Danza del corregidor — Dance of the Magistrate
- Danza final (Jota)
