Known affectionately as Padre Antonio Soler, he was a man of the cloth and a maestro of the keyboard, leaving behind an impressive catalog of over 400 works. Soler's most celebrated compositions are his keyboard sonatas, which are essential to the harpsichord, fortepiano, and organ repertoires. His innovative approach to harmony and form makes his sonatas stand out, reflecting his studies with the renowned Domenico Scarlatti. Beyond his keyboard works, Soler's output includes concertos, masses, and a notable treatise on musical theory that explores the use of microtones. His influence extends to his role as a teacher to the royal family, cementing his place as a pivotal figure in Spanish music history.
