Antonio Cano-Curriella (1811-1897) was a significant Spanish guitarist, composer, and physician. He served as the personal physician to Queen Isabel II of Spain while maintaining an active career as a guitarist and teacher. His compositions, primarily for guitar, reflect the Romantic style of 19th-century Spain and include methods, studies, and various solo works. This Divertimento likely showcases his melodic gift and understanding of the guitar's technical possibilities.
