Segovia's "Autobiography of the Years 1893-1920" says Llobet and Tarrega never played concert halls because they were convinced that the guitar wouldn't be heard in one. In the next paragraph, he talks of playing at the Palau, a hall that "seated over a thousand persons!" He then says, "Pujol not the musicologist, but the managing director of the Palau arranged to meet with me " That offhand reference to "the musicologist" is the only mention of Emilio Pujol in the book. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
