He entered the Madrid Conservatory in 1874, where he studied composition under Emilio Arrieta . By the end of the 1870s, he was teaching the guitar ( Emilio Pujol and Miguel Llobet were pupils of his) and giving regular concerts. A virtuoso on his instrument, he was known as the " Sarasate of the guitar". He later settled in Barcelona, and died there in 1909.

As well as his original works for the guitar, which include Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Capricho Arabe and Danza Mora, he arranged pieces by others for the instrument, including works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin and Felix Mendelssohnsymphony at the young age of fifteen.
