    Llobet Soles, Miguel

    (b Barcelona, 18 Oct 1878; d Barcelona, 22 Feb 1938). Spanish


    guitarist, composer and arranger. His uncle brought a guitar home
    when Llobet was 11; at 14 he was presented by his first teacher,
    Magn Alegre, to Francisco Trrega, who accepted him as a pupil.
    He gave his first series of private concerts in 1898 and his first
    public appearance was in 1901 at the conservatory in Valencia. He
    performed in Madrid in 1902 and again in 1903 in front of the royal
    family. His friend Ricardo Vies, the noted pianist and Debussy
    interpreter, presented him in his foreign dbut, in Paris in 1904.
    From 1905 to 1910 Llobet gave concerts throughout Europe. He
    made his South American dbut in 1910 and set up home
    temporarily in Buenos Aires, from where he left from time to time
    on concert tours. Having made his US dbut in 1912 he continued
    to tour until the outbreak of World War I, when he returned to
    America for the duration of the war. After 1930 Llobet settled in
    Barcelona to teach and give occasional concerts. In 1934 he gave
    concerts in Vienna, Germany and other parts of western Europe,
    and a final concert in the USA at the Library of Congress,
    Washington, DC. He returned to Barcelona at the height of the
    Spanish Civil War in 1937.
    Llobet is given credit for bringing the classical guitar into the
    modern musical world of international concert tours. He also
    contributed new works and transcriptions to the repertory and
    introduced the public to works by Falla, Villa-Lobos, Ponce and
    others. (Falla wrote Homenaje pour le tombeau de Claude
    Debussy in response to Llobets persistent requests for a new work
    for guitar.) In 1925 he made the first electric recordings on the
    classical guitar.
    Llobets tally of approximately 75 publications includes 13 known
    original compositions, among them his guitar arrangement of
    Catalan folk songs, Diez canciones populares catalanas (1899
    1918); of these the best known, El mestre (c1900), is harmonically
    one of the most advanced guitar works of its time and was much
    admired by Segovia.
