Juan Crisostoma Arriaga- nicknamed "Spanish Mozart"

Another child prodigy that died before he could really blossom 1806-1826.  Wrote several string quartets, and pretty damn good symphony, and a lost opera.  The Overture still exist and is on youtube.  He wrote this at 13 years old.  Who knows what the world lost with his passing.

I'm glad that someone checked this out.  Arriaga is one of so many fine composers that didn't live long enough to find the fame that their work deserves.
