Padre Antonio Soler is the most important Spanish composer of keyboard instruments of the XVIII century. Born in Olot he was baptized in 1729 and died in El Escorial in 1787. As a young boy he entered the Escolania of Montserrat, where he studied composition and organ, coinciding at the same monastery with the also Spanish composer of that time, Fernando Sor. Padre Soler spent great part of his life in El Escorial as chapel master and organist and met in Madrid Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti with whom he developped a deep friendship inspired on mutual admiration.In spite of the similar styles of both composers the fluid inspiration of Padre Soler excels for his own personality, definitely influenced by Spanish roots. Furthermore, I ask myself if the fact of being at the same monastery of Montserrat with guitarist composer Fernando Sor didn't play an important role in the future development of Padre Soler's style.I have transcribed for two guitars these three sonatas in the hope that also the guitarists can enjoy playing these little jewels, truly musical delights, that Padre Antonio Soler left for us.

In 1716, François Couperin published in Paris L’Art de Toucher le Clavecin, that brief and famous method containing eight Preludes, all extraordinarily beautiful, as well as technically very useful. Less than fifty years later, in 1762 in Madrid, Padre Antonio Soler published through Joachin Ibarra a weighty treatise of 272 pages (Llave de la Modulacion), which includes – in the tenth and final chapter – eight Preludes for keyboard instrumentThis kind of Prelude, according to what emerges from the thorny and at times ambiguous language of Padre Soler, while maintaining its undoubted basic executive value, stands on the one hand as a study of composition and on the other as an exercise in improvisation. Both these categories are more than pertinent to the period in which this work was conceived and to its aesthetics. In this sense, the term arbitri itself, so widely used in the musical text, is perhaps the most representative of a type of training that is actually centred more on practice procedure than on merely theoretical study.

Classical composer Vicente Martin y Soler (1754-1806), sometimes called The Spanish Mozart, wrote a 1786 opera entitled Una Cosa Rara. While the opera has falled into obscurity, it was immensely popular at the time of its premiere. Six divertimenti by the composer, all based on themes from the opera, have helped preserve the legacy of this marvelous music. Carefully edited and restored from the original manuscripts by Dr. Patricia Cornett, these are important additions to the repertoire for advanced chamber ensembles. Scored for: 2 Oboes, 2 Basset Horns (opt. Bb Clarinets), 2 Horns and 2 Bassoons. Recorded by members of the Temple University Wind Symphony, Dr. Patricia Cornett, conductor.
