For nearly 400 years the
guitar has been synonymous with
Spain. From its early
relatives, the vihuela and the
Baroque guitar, through to the
present day concert classical
instrument (and of course, the
flamenco guitar), the guitar
has been a constant inspiration
to Spanish composers, non
guitarists and guitarists
alike.
Luis Milan, Santiago de Murcia,
Fernando Sor and Francisco
Tarrega were all masters of
their instrument and their
music represents the high point
of each period. Domenico
Scarlatti was an Italian who
lived for many years in Spain
where he wrote over 600 sonatas
for the harpsichord, many of
which are quite at home on the
guitar. Isaac Albeniz wrote
primarily for the piano and
whilst most of his inspiration
came from the flamenco music of
Andalucia, the "Capricho
Catalan" is unusual as it
represents the northern area of
Catalonia. |
