Who wrote the Jota Aragonesa?

AI undoubtedly will choose the most publicized information, then place below that ranking, the next item relevant to the search. On You Tube and in available published sheet music we would find Francisco Tarrega's (1852-1909) version of the "Gran Jota aragonesa", also being able to find a version published by Julian Arcas (1832-1882), reprinted 20 years ago in a compilation of his works.

Joseph Stalin expert Stephen Kotkin says:

"Those that don't know history, think everything is unprecedented."

Last week in doing research connected to the concert guitarists who owned guitars, while the maker was alive, fabricated by Manuel Perez of Zaragoza, Spain: Dionisio Aguado (1784-1849), Vicente Ayala - Maestro to Antonio Cano, before Cano became a student of Aguado, Antonio Cano (1811-1897), then I came across the concert listing by Tomas Damas from January 30, 1845, from the monthly magazine "Revista de teatros (Madrid)", from the great resource of the Biblioteca Nacional de España.

At the present time we offer an 1844 Manuel Perez, which has such a huge sound, it's obvious why these legends owned his instruments. The resonant tone and loud volume is due to the bracing that is very Torres like, aimed at the 14th fret, unlike the Valencian style which points to the center sound hole, still used by Francisco Gonzalez in 1869.

The famous "Jota Aragonesa", used by Franz Liszt already in 1844. listed on Facebook on September 3, 2026 by the administrator of the Franz Liszt Group.

Franz Liszt famously played the Jota aragonesa during his concert tour of Spain and Portugal, specifically performing it in recitals such as in Cordoba on December 12, 1844.
