A name often associated with the Spanish Baroque guitar legacy is Gaspar Sanz, who in 1674 published a treatise and collection of guitar compositions in Zaragoza. Sanz was forever memorialised when Joaquín Rodrigo (1901–1999) quoted his Canarios in the Fantasía para gentilhombre. His Folías, which is one of the most cited of all Spanish variation forms, is a concise and exquisite example of this revered dance, and it’s important to note that numerous copies of his works have been found in the New World. We can also see direct connections between Sanz and Italy. While studying for the priesthood in Rome, he received musical training from violinist and composer Lelio Colista.
