Life:
His parents taught him to play the guitar at a very early age. He was already giving concerts at the age of 6. At the age of 12, he studied piano and composition. He learned quickly and became a professor of guitar at the Academia de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires at a very early age. There he also met the publisher Francisco Nuñez, who later published almost all of his works. In 1905, he founded his own school, the Academia de Guitarra. Between 1900 and 1936, Julio Sagreras gave many concerts in concert halls and salons, as well as on the radio.
Sagreras is also known for his very methodical and well-annotated series of pieces for guitar instruction. It consists of seven books that accompany the student from beginner to advanced stages. In addition to the “Lecciones …”, the Maria Luisa (a mazurka), El Zorzal (Estilo), Violetas (waltz), and the virtuoso El Colibri are well known.
