Bartolome Calatayud
Bartolomé Calatayud , Mallorcan Bartumeo Calatayud Certá (born September 8, 1882 in Palma , † April 11, 1973 ibid) was a Spanish composer , guitarist and guitar teacher from Mallorca .
Life
Calatayud studied guitar with Antonio Mestres and composition with D. Antonio Noguera. In 1899 Calatayud received the Diploma de Honor de 1ª Clase of the Centro Instructivo Obrero in Palma de Mallorca for his outstanding musical skills on the guitar. His teachers in Palma were Antonio Alemany Palmer and Antonio Mestres Gómez.
Shortly after 1900 he traveled to Valencia , where he met Francisco Tárrega , who probably also taught him. In addition to Tárrega, Calatayud's compositional style was mainly influenced by Fernando Sor . In the following years Calatayud gave numerous solo concerts, in the Balearic Islands, but also in Europe and North Africa. In 1940 he became director of the Seccion Femenina in Palma.
Calatayud is considered to be one of the most important propagators of Balearic folklore on the guitar. One of his best known pieces is the "Cancion de Cuna" (lullaby from the "Cuatro Piezas Faciles Para Guitarra").
