Julián Aguirre
Julián Antonio Tomás Aguirre (born January 28, 1868 in Buenos Aires , † August 13, 1924 there ) was an Argentine composer and music teacher .
Life
Aguirre came to Madrid with his family at the age of three, where his father opened a piano shop. From 1882 to 1886 he studied harmony and composition at the Real Conservatorio de Madrid with José Aranguren de Aveñarro and Emilio Arrieta and piano with Karl Beck . He later continued his education in Paris. In 1887 he returned to Argentina and settled in Buenos Aires as a lecturer, music critic and pianist.
Since it was founded by Alberto Williams in 1892, Aguirre has taught at the Conservatorio de Música de Buenos Aires . In 1916 he founded the Escuela Argentina de Música , which he directed until his death. In his compositions, which were formally influenced by Isaac Albéniz and Enrique Granados , Aguirre took up motifs from Argentine folklore. Works such as the Aires Nacionales Argentinos , the Rapsodia Argentina for violin and piano and the piano work Huella y Gato , which was orchestrated by Ernest Ansermet , became known. In 1957 the Banfield Conservatory was named after him.
