ABOUT ANTONIO SOLER

The works of Spanish composer Antonio Soler span the late Baroque and early Classical music eras. He is best known for his keyboard sonatas, an important contribution to the harpsichord, fortepiano and organ repertoire. He is probably the most significant Spanish musician of the eighteenth century, both for the rich and varied of his compositions, for his contributions to musical theory and for the innovative character of his genius.
