Francisco de Asís Tárrega y Eixea (1852 – 1909) was
a Spanish composer and classical guitarist of the
Romantic period. He was born in Villarreal, Province of
Castellón, Spain. It is said that Francisco's father
played flamenco and several other music styles on his
guitar; when his father was away working as a watchman
at the Convent of San Pascual, the child would take his
father's guitar and attempt to make the beautiful
sounds he had heard. Francisco's nickname as a child
was "Quiquet".(+)
