![]() Since the far-off times of Aguado, we lacked a complete Method which would pass on to us the technical progress which Tárrega initiated. With what emotion do we find its clear echo in Scarlatti, in Glinka and his disciples, in Debussy and Ravel!. ![]() And more, the history of music itself shows us its magnificent influence as a means of transmitting throughout Europe the essence of the musical sound of Spain. In the preface to Pujol's Guitar School (1933), Manuel de Falla writes: "One must acknowledge that the guitar, of all stringed instruments with a fingerboard, is the most complete and the richest in its harmonic and polyphonic possibilities. This change in playing style, which later became known for its Spanish nationalist character, went on to influence the many of the playing styles and techniques of 20th century performers. While there are no known sound recordings of Tárrega, many of his students, inlcuding Emilio Pujol, made recordings and wrote method books on the technique of the guitar. Guitarist and composer Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) is often considered to have been a major influence for a shift in playing styles during the late 19th century. The 19th and 20th centuries saw significant developments in the performance practice of the guitar.
