    Rosie, You provided an outstanding narrative with your unique poetic prose style and lovely captivating “radio voice”. The historical context is rarely part of an arrangement; dire circumstances can sometimes be an inspiration for artistic genius. Your biographical work encourages me to do further research on his music, guitars and playing technique. I will however forgo his penchant for cigarettes 😂

    Yes, near Valencia (we can see almost “Va…” on the map on the right hand side. Also at 5:06, there is an implication that Flamenco music with guitar accompaniment is a music “for the street”. Actually there are already the cafe cantantes where the music is performed, mostly by the small elite group of gypsy dynasties who are both working class citizens and connected to the Corrida Nacional (Bullfighting). However, as early as 1838, some of the performers called their 6 string twanger “Vihuela” which was once quite distinct from the 4 or 5 string “guitarra”. The myth that Flamenco music is some low class street folk music persists, but it is an elitist music that requires training to the degree of Marital Art schools.

    I became acquainted with the works of Francisco Tárrega as a child, when I was very young, I played then without using my nails and this helped me master the correct tone of the instrument, and this is because when working with my father I used the method of F. Tárrega, which was taken for basis!

    Brilliant account of Tarrega. For me, he is the embodiment of Spanish music (classical) and a huge influence on Paco de Lucia as a composer/performer/innovator. I often wonder whether the 'rest stroke' was actually perfected by Sor, but originated with the street performer of Flamenco? Speculation really, but the power of flamenco melody comes from the rest stroke. A very sensitive account of Tarrega. Thanks.

    I saw Segovia, Bream, and Parkening in large Halls and it was never good. I was not close enough and would never see anyone with no amplification again. Andrew York was able to get a great sound with his pick ups. But there's nothing like sitting next to a virtuoso like Pierre Bensusan or Philip Rosherger live which I did many times. After years of conventional Classical playing I now use a Steel string sometimes (as does Micheal Chapdelaine) and also often improvise on Classical pieces.
