On the basis of a single piece published from his 1744 manuscript Libro de tocatas para cimbalo, Rodríguez has been widely recognized as the first native Spanish composer of sonatas. This modern edition presents the complete manuscript, yielding pieces that are animated, sparkling, highly original, and imbued with Spanish flamboyance.
