Sheet Music or Tab Edition

Rosita by Manjon (PDF) – From Werner Guitar Editions, my dedicated sheet music store.

Here’s an edition of Rosita by Antonio Jiménez Manjón (1866-1919). I perform the piece, and then discuss an overview of some musical ideas and do a walk-through lesson. Antonio Jiménez Manjón was a composer and guitarist from the Andalusia part of Spain. Manjón became blind when still a young child but still performed recitals throughout his life. He later settled in Buenos Aires. A highly influential player who inspired such names Agustín Barrios and Miguel Llobet. This Rosita has an abundance of charm and a a decent length considering its relative ease compared to his other works. Here’s the YouTube Lesson Link if you want to watch it there.
