Performed by Pepe Romero

"Claude Debussy defined the guitar as an expressive harpsicord. I believe that is the best definition ever given of the Spanish guitar. This phrase is the starting point for my Concierto de Aranjuez. Our guitar is the only survivor of the rich and anarchic instrumental wildlife of the Middle Ages."
Joaquin Rodrigo
Adagio - performed by Paco de Lucía
En Aranjuez con tu amor - singer Sarah Brightman
Aranjuez mon amour - simple version for guitar solo
Collection Video - Master Narciso Yepes performed Concierto Aranjuez

"I have always regarded technique as a means, not an end in itself. One must, of course, master technique; at the same time, one must not become enslaved by it. One must understand that the purpose of technique is to transmit the inner meaning, the message of the music. The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all."
Pablo Casals, Joys and Sorrows

"Do not let your practice become mechanical, but use your head as well as your fingers. Concentrate on what you are trying to accomplish, and constantly listen carefully to your playing. Buy all the records by the great artists, listen to them, and strive to produce their beautiful tone on your instrument."
George C. Krick

"Time goes against you. You get older, you lose energy, your imagination wears down and, above all, you have fewer incentives. Now I only work to maintain the prestige I have. The only incentive you have is to meet a guy somewhere in the world who tells you that his life changed when he listened to your records and that he learnt how to play the guitar because of you."

"Everyone may not have ability to become a great guitarist; but everyone does have the ability to improve, to get better. That's more important."

"No matter how good you get, there's more. Go after it, improve it, play it, and give it away. Never try to be the best. Always try to be the best that you can be."
