“The Life of Tárrega” (Original title: Tárrega: Ensayo biográfico) is a biography written by Emilio Pujol, a disciple of the Spanish composer and guitarist Francisco Tárrega. Content: Pujol, one of Tárrega's closest disciples, lovingly recounts the life of Tárrega, known as the "Father of Modern Guitar Music." The book vividly portrays Tárrega's personality, artistic beliefs, and the atmosphere of the Spanish music scene at the time. The first edition was published in 1977. I believe I purchased this book about 30 years ago. The cover has some scratches, tears, stains, discoloration, and rounded corners, but the book itself is in very good condition. There are no major scratches or tears, and it is perfectly readable. The paper has some age-related discoloration, but it's not very noticeable. When purchasing, please understand that this is a used book and make your decision after carefully reviewing the photos. The photos at the beginning are also helpful, making this a book that allows you to learn more about the times.
