The family economics situation forces Tarrega to cooperate to the incomes so that, after several concerts around neighboor villages, he gets a place of pianist at the Burriana's Casino. His father was told of this attitude, so that he went to Barcelona bringing Tarrega back home. Therefore, Tarrega went to Barcelona, but soon he left his relatives house where he was staying and joined a group of young musicians, playing around pubs and cafeterias to earn some money instead of going to the music school. He was very impressed by the child's ability and advised his father to bring him to Barcelona in order to enhance his music studies. In 1862, the famous concertist Julian Arcas played in Castellon and had a chance to hear the child playing. The grammer errors are far too much! I tried! =O) This man made his living out of playing music, and knew very well all tricks to warm up the audience, secrets that he teached the young Tarrega. It was he who initiated him into the guitar world. Later in his life he met another blind musician, Manuel Gonzalez, also known as 'El cego de la Marina'. It was peculiarly a blind musician, Eugeni Ruiz, who teached Tarrega his first music lessons. His father thought that Francisco could loose completely the ability to see, so they moved to Castellon in order to make Francisco assist music classes so that, in case he became blind, he could earn some money by playing music. At a certain moment, Francisco went running out of the house and fell into an irrigation channel, which brought about a hard shock that harmed his eyes forever.
Both his father Francisco Tarrega-Tirado and his mother Antonia Eixea-Broch were working as housekeepers for the Mothers Clarisas.īecause of his parents jobs, little Francisco was taken care by a baby-sitter. Francisco Tarrega-Eixea was born in Vila-real, on 21st of November 1852, in a house beside the Saint Paschal Baylon sanctuary.
