Gaspar Sanz (1640-1710) was a Spanish composer, guitarist, and priest known for his significant contributions to the baroque music genre.

"Espanoleta" is a famous and charming piece that comes from Sanz's seminal work "Instrucción de Música sobre la Guitarra Española" (Musical Instruction on the Spanish Guitar), published in 1674. The book is a compilation of various guitar pieces and provides valuable insights into the playing techniques and ornamentation of the Baroque guitar.

"Espanoleta" is a relatively simple yet delightful piece characterized by its graceful melody and simple, repetitive rhythmic patterns. The piece captures the essence of Spanish Baroque music, reflecting the dance style of the period.

"Espanoleta" remains popular among classical guitarists. Its appeal lies in its accessibility to both beginners and experienced players, making it an enjoyable piece for all classical guitarists.
