Jaime Felipe José Bosch (in Catalan: Jaume Bosch i Renard, in France known as Jacques Bosch) (26 May 1825 – 31 March 1895) was a Catalan guitarist and song composer who established himself in Paris. ==Biography== Bosch was born in Barcelona and educated at the school of the Convent de la Mercè in Barcelona, where he began his studies in piano and guitar.〔Philip James Bone: ''The Guitar and Mandolin: Biographies of Celebrated Players and Composers for these Instruments'' (1914): "Bosch, Jaime Felipe José, born 1826 at Barcelona, died March 30, 1895, at 23 rue de la Damas, Paris. He studied singing and the guitar when young and was later attracted to Paris where he became popular as a teacher of the guitar."〕 Before he emigrated, Bosch gave successful concerts in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia between 1849 and 1852. From 1853 he settled in Paris and from 1857 toured frequently in France, the Netherlands and Germany. Bosch was a very good friend of the painter Édouard Manet and posed for him many times, one portrait being used as illustration for one of Bosch's publications, ''Plainte Moresque'' op. 85, which is also dedicated to Manet. Besides many original compositions he wrote a ''Méthode de guitare'' (1891, see below) and an opera (''Roger de Flor'', 1868), which was not performed. In Paris, Bosch was much praised at the aristocratic salons and had a large number of pupils, including the brothers Alfred and Jules Cottin.〔''Le Figaro'', 26 April 1892, p. 3.〕 His best-known piece was to be his song collection ''Dix Mélodies'', which was praised by Felipe Pedrell as a "true model of what a composer's inspiration may create in this genre".〔Paraphrased from CD booklet notes to LMG 2119; see Recordings.〕 Bosch died in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. Most of Bosch's guitar works were not published at the time they were written but in collections of ''Dix Pièces'' (ten pieces) in 1887 and 1894, ''12 Pièces faciles'' (12 easy pieces) in 1892 and a further six easy pieces in 1894. A later edition of ten easy pieces (1923) reprints some previously published pieces together with seven pieces that had apparently not previously been published. Bosch's ''Méthode de guitare'' is very much a composer's method insofar as it contains numerous original compositions of varying length and difficulty. In the course of its 116 pages there are 16 ''Leçons'' (distributed over pages 3–14), 31 ''Exercises'' (pages 22–92) and 39 original compositions, ranging in length from one to five pages. Most of them are dedicated to one of his pupils, who included Guy de Polignac, member of a famous French noble family. Among the more substantial works there are two movements of a ''Sonata dialogue'', dedicated to the memory of Fernando Sor (an Adagio on pp. 63–4, and an Allegro on pp. 102–4), a ''Jota'' (pp. 69–72), and ''Iberia'' (subtitled ''Valse de concert''), pp. 110–4 (see below for full listing). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacques Bosch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
