Andres Segovia

Segovia is considered by many to be the father of the modern classical guitar. Segovia’s transcriptions of classical works originally written for other instruments (e.g., lute, harpsichord, piano, violin, cello) by Johann Sebastian Bach, Isaac Albeniz, Enrique Grandos, and many other composers brought the guitar to prominence as a concert instrument. Segovia’s scale books are still used by guitar students today.
