Ángel G. Piñero, composer and classical guitarist

Angel is, one is reluctant to speak of him in the past despite his recent death on 21 February 2022, a prominent Spanish composer and guitarist from Cádiz, born in 1932 with a varied and extensive musical career as a concert performer. His musical training is summarized in 17 years of official studies. He studied music (solfège, guitar, harmony, counterpoint, fugue, chamber music, history of world music, etc.) at the Conservatorio Superior Municipal de Música de Barcelona, later studying composition at the Munich Conservatory. Later he began to compose music, starting with guitar methods and composing musical works in the 1980s. His facet as a composer alternated with his work as a soloist. He is currently immersed in his work as a composer. His aim is to create repertoire for young artists and to enrich the heritage of the classical guitar.
