Dionisio Aguado was born in Madrid. His surname is
derived from a Spanish word for soaked, which was
originally a nickname for an ancient relative, a
knight, who returned from a battle caked in mud! In the
Aguado's time, tablature was still the notation of
choice for Spanish guitarists, Aguado adopted the new
staff notation being used by Frederico Moretti and his
followers like Fernando Sor. He published a guitar
tutor "Escuela de Guitarra" in Madrid, this was later
translated into French. In 1825 Aguado left for Paris
where he became successful as a teacher. He was
friendly with Fernando Sor, and Sor commemorated the
friendship in his work for guitar duet Les Deux Amis
("The Two Friends").
