Dionisio Aguado y Garc\u00eda<\/b> (8 April 1784\u00a0\u2013 29 December 1849) was a Spanish classical guitarist and composer of the late Classical and early Romantic periods. In 1826, Aguado visited Paris, where he met and became friends with and for a while lived with Fernando Sor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aguado’s major work Escuela de Guitarra<\/i> was a guitar tutorial published in 1825. In the Escuela<\/i> Aguado describes his use of fingernails on the right hand as well as his invention of a “tripodison”: a device that held the guitar and thus minimized the damping effect of the player’s body on the guitar’s back and sides.<\/sup> Aguado’s other works include Trois Rondos Brillants<\/i> (Opus 2), Le Menuet Affandangado<\/i> (Opus 15), Le Fandango Varie<\/i> (Opus 16), as well as numerous waltzes, minuets, and other light pieces. The more extended works require a virtuoso technique and left-hand stretches that are almost impossible on the longer string lengths of modern guitars.<\/p>\n Aguado’s surname comes from the Spanish word for “soaked.” (This is because an ancient relative of his, who was a knight, returned after a battle caked in mud. The nickname then eventually became the surname.)<\/p>\n Source: Wikipedia <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n About Dionisio Aguado, Guitarist and Composer Dionisio Aguado y Garc\u00eda (8 April 1784\u00a0\u2013 29 December 1849) was a Spanish classical guitarist and composer of the late Classical and early Romantic periods.
