URCULLU, LEOPOLDO DE  

Very little is known of the life of the Spanish guitarist Leopoldo de Urcullu, who seems to have died relatively young (if we so interpret a contemporary reference to him as ‘unfortunate’).

Guitar Music

Guitar music and songs with guitar accompaniment by Urcullu survive, and a contemporary ranked him with Sor and Aguado, although his compositions are only now being heard again. These include works based on popular operas of his time.
