Rosita - polka for guitar by tarrega

rosita - polka - francisco tarrega

Francisco Tárrega was born in Villareal, Spain on November 21, 1852. He was one of the most influential guitarists the world has ever known. He is considered by many to be the father of the modern classical guitar

his works include many guitar preludes, the popular Capricho arabe (Arabian Caprice), and Danza mora (Moorish Dance) which he composed while in Algeria and where he also met Saint-Saens, and many more of his Estudios. His last work was the music piece Oremus which he wrote about two weeks before he died.

Today, his best-known work, and one of the best of guitar pieces, Recuerdos de la Alhambra, is still being transcribed and versioned over, even by top pop artists. His output was modest, with about 78 original scores and 120 transcriptions of the great classical compositions, but he was the first great arranger for guitar, transcribing works from composers such as J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Berlioz, Chopin, Grieg, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, and Wagner, as well as pieces from Albéniz and other Spanish contemporaries.

Tárrega's Legacy
Tárrega did not write a guitar primer or tutor, however, his techniques and methods were proliferated by his students, among them, Pascual Roch and Emilio Pujol wrote down his principles of pedagogy in volumes still in use today. Tarrega created a Spanish romantic voice for the guitar which has enchanted people to love guitar music.
