THE history of the guitar in Europe, and the history of Spanish music are, if not one and the same thing, very closely knit together. Ever since the instrument was introduced into Europe by the Moors, long centuries ago, it has been of all others the one on which and for which Spaniards have made their music. Of the long line of classical guitar players, whose tradition has been faithfully handed on from age to age, Emilio Pujol is the accredited representative today. He was a pupil of Francisco Tarrega , whose name is still held in honour as one who did much to perpetuate the best traditions of Spanish guitar playing.
