Last wednesday, Segovia gave the
first of his scheduled rectais in New

from Spain. accompanied by his wife,
formerly Paquita Madriguera. pianist.
Segovia was recently heard in an in
ternational broadcast from Barcelona,
playing the Bach "Gavotte" and Span
ish selections, one of which was per-
formed on his last years program here.
Segovia has been the first to reveal
undreamed possibilities of the guitar.
At the age of Is he had already
mastered everything written for that
instrument. and it was then that it
occurred to him to try to supplement
the poverty of its literature with trans
scriptions from the classics. In this
work he was obliged to enlarge the
gamut of dynanlics and of timbres; in
short, to develop an entirely new
technic.
The result fully justified his temerity.
Musicians heard him and marveled.
Torrcba, Turina, De Falla, Pedrell,
Tansman, A. Roussel the Mexican.
Ponce are names which come to mind
of modern composers who have. in the
light of Segovia's amazing accomplish
ments, written for the first time for
the guitar and dedicated their compo-
