Manuel Blasco de Nebra

composer, 1750-1784

This short-lived Spanish composer and organist held the position of organist at Seville Cathedral until his death. Manuel may have held this position from the age of 20. Sight-reading was his forte and was as his emotional and expressive playing of the harpsichord, organ and piano. The compositions of Blasco de Nebra that survive require a great deal of virtuosity. © Keith Johnson /TiVo
