Joaquín Rodrigo (1901–1999) is the unwitting author of the most famous piece of Spanish music in the world, the *Concierto de Aranjuez*. Its popularity has brought him a certain austere fame, as well as some indignities in the form of adaptations. Fame is a great misunderstanding, and the case of Rodrigo proves it once again. Moyano Zamora’s book is dedicated to untangling these clashes between perception and reality, composed partly of documents and partly of fictional memoirs of the musician, written in the first person by the author based on conversations with the composer. A tyrannical father, who never accepted that his son was a musician and forbade the mother from attending his premieres, had to endure his son—blind from the earliest childhood—persisting in his vocation and carrying it out.
