Review
He was formed since he was a child in the cathedral of Toledo and was highlighted as a violonchelist. In 1770 he moved to Madrid at the service of the Duke of Alba, where he met the camera music of Haydn and Boccherini, which left a mark on his style.
After the Duke's death in 1776 he sought a post in court without success and in 1779 returned to Toledo, where he worked in the cathedral as an instrumentist and composer of sacra music. His quarters are among the first writings in Spain.
