Ponce, Manuel Maria
PONCE, MANUEL MARIA (1882 - 1948)
Manuel Maria Ponce was born in a small provincial Mexican town in 1882, to modestly prosperous parents. Like all small children, he wanted to do everything his elder sister did, and it was she who taught him the piano. His outstanding progress soon outstripped the educational potential in Mexico, and he moved to Italy and Germany to complete his studies. It was a meeting with the famous guitarist, Andres Segovia, in 1923 that persuaded Ponce to write for the instrument, though the composer had no detailed knowledge of the instrument. His relationship with Segovia was to be a mixed blessing, for while it ensured the great Spanish musician would make his music popular, Segovia also disliked music of his own era, and only wanted to perform music of bygone times. This resulted in a series of works from Ponce that were full of delightful melodies, but which were totally out of keeping with his own time.
