He was the prime mover behind the enrichment of the guitar repertoire in the first half of the last century, commissioning many composers and having countless more works dedicated to him. However, his acknowledged status as a performer, his work as a composer has been largely ignored. Segovia wrote almost 50 individual works, most of them intimate miniatures, many of which are masterpieces just waiting to be discovered and enter the guitar repertoire. He was self-taught as both a guitarist and a composer. His study and transcriptions of music from Purcell to Granados evidently left their mark. The titles – Preludes, Studies, Variations and so forth – suggest that Segovia intended his music to be of practical use in teaching, and they do explore systematic areas of guitar technique. However, the character of these pieces is often intimate and is not tied to the trademark virtuosity of his playing; his poetic world was lyrical and introspective, occasionally tinged with an ironic or humorous touch. His style is close to that of the composers he loved most, such as the contemporaries, Ponce and Federico Moreno-Torroba above all, who wrote for him. However, there are also echoes of the Romantic guitar composers of the 19th century, including Tárrega, Llobet and traditional folk tunes from the Iberian peninsula.
