Hi, I'm Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga, but I'm better known as the Spanish or the Basque Mozart because he was as good as me. 00:00:00
I was born in Bilbao, specifically in Somera Street, number 51, the 17th of January of 1806. 00:00:07
I was the eighth of nine brothers, but I only met four of them because the others died. 00:00:15
My parents were María Rosa Catalina de Valzola and Juan Simón de Arriaga. 00:00:21
My family takes our surname from a village near Guernica, and in Basque it means Escri, Pedregal. 00:00:26
I started in music because of my father and my brother, Ramón Prudencio, who played the violin and the guitar. 00:00:33
My father was an organist in the church of Santiago, but he left his job for moving to Bilbao and dedicating to commerce so my brothers and I could have a better life. 00:00:39
In Bilbao, I met a friend of my father, who was also an organist, and he saw that I was 00:00:49
a good musician, so he talked to people about me in León. 00:00:55
I started to play the violin when I was seven years old, and my teacher, Fausto Sanz, who 00:00:59
was a tenor and a violinist at the Church of Santiago, lived in my house. 00:01:04
My fame started growing and soon I started playing at concerts. 00:01:09
I played my first concert in Bilbao with my brother. 00:01:14
I liked it very much. 00:01:16
There, I met a pianist, a girl called Luisa Torres Urquijo, to whom I dedicated my first work, called Nada y Mucho, that in English means Nothing and Much. She really loved it. 00:01:18
No, I didn't. 00:01:29
Disappear. 00:01:30
I was 15 years old. My father sent me to the Ecole Royale de Musique et Déclamation in Paris, in September of 1821. 00:01:33
I signed up in classes of Harmony and Counterpoint. 00:01:50
I was so good that in one year I became a teacher of the school 00:01:54
and I suspended the students who didn't pass me their notes the last year. 00:01:58
Of course, my fame increased more. 00:02:03
In total, I composed 26 pieces, 00:02:06
and the most popular was Los Cuartetos de Cuerda, 00:02:10
the string quartets in English, 00:02:13
which were played with two violins, one viola and one cello. 00:02:15
I composed this play when I was 16 years old. 00:02:19
The first quartet was very cheerful and happy. 00:02:22
Also, it starts with a sad and dramatic piece. 00:02:25
I also couldn't keep adding a violin in the middle of the quartet that it gives a Spanish touch. 00:02:28
I dedicated it to my father. 00:02:35
It also was the only one of my plays which was published before my death. 00:02:37
The play lasts 24 minutes and it is about 150 sheets, and it was defined as brilliant and idiomatic. 00:02:41
I wrote in D major and it had three quartet notes per beat. 00:02:48
A half century after my death, one of my successors gave it music to the city hall of Bilbao for the rest of the world to know my masterpiece. 00:02:52
I leave you a moment to marvel at my ingenious and ability to compose. 00:03:05
My first opera was Los esclavos felices, The happy slaves in English. 00:03:14
It is the most known opera that I made. It had two acts. 00:03:24
Two acts. 00:03:28
In my life as a musician, I met some composers. 00:03:30
One of them was Beethoven. 00:03:33
And no, he wasn't a dog. 00:03:35
He would kill me if he listened to what I'm saying about him. 00:03:37
He was very old. 00:03:40
And he couldn't hear my plays very well. 00:03:42
But I think he liked them. 00:03:44
No, I didn't. 00:03:46
I also met Frederic Chopin. 00:03:48
It's Chopin. 00:03:50
Shut up. 00:03:52
What I was saying, he was so inexpert. 00:03:52
I was only 13 while you were 17. 00:03:54
Shut up. 00:03:58
I composed my first play when I was 11. 00:03:58
Okay, but I'm more famous than you. 00:04:01
If I would have lived more than 19 years old, I would be much more famous than you. 00:04:03
But you didn't, so I'm better than you. 00:04:07
Yeah, but you died from tuberculosis. 00:04:10
Like you and one in four people in that period. 00:04:12
Well, what I was saying, I also met Joseph Hayden in a concert when I was 3 years old. 00:04:14
I met him after the concert because I couldn't see him playing. I think he was Hayden. 00:04:20
Haha, you are so stupid all day or you had to take breaks? 00:04:24
Whatever. My last play was the symphony in D minor for great orchestra, which I composed when I was 17 years old. 00:04:28
I leave you a moment for listening to it. 00:04:37
I died from tuberculosis, but I still don't know what that is. 00:04:57
In my last moments, I was attended by Cirilo Pérez Nanín, who was a friend of my family, and Pedro Albeniz, who said to my family that I died. 00:05:01
I was buried in a common pit in the Cementière du Nord de Montarmère, 00:05:11
but I think I should have been buried in a personal hall with a lot of flowers, 00:05:16
because of my great talent as a musician. 00:05:20
Although I was such a great artist, my plays continued unknown until the half of the 19th century. 00:05:23
Nowadays, the Aguirre-Biscay Foundation has collected all my plays in three books 00:05:29
that every person in the world should read. 00:05:33
No matters if they don't understand it. 00:05:36
They have to read my cleverness and skills for composing. 00:05:38
There are no excuses, because all of the music sheets are uploaded free in the website of the foundation. 00:05:42
There is also a theatre in my honour in Bilbao. 00:05:48
Well, that's all. Bye. 00:05:51
