[Padre] Antonio (Francisco Javier José) Soler y Ramos
(Olot, bap. 3 December 1729 - El Escorial, 20 December 1783)

Spanish composer and organist. At the age of six, after instruction from his father, Marcos Mateo Pedro Soler (a band musician in the regiment of Numancia), he entered the famous music school Escolanía in the monastery of Montserrat where he studied under Benito Esteve, Andrés Jaumeandreu and Benito Valls. By 1744 he had taken Holy Orders and obtained the post of organist at the cathedral of La Seu d’Urgell, later functioning as director in Lleida and finally at El Escorial in Madrid, in a post he held the rest of his life. There he taught the royal family, as well as living a simple life in the Heironymite monastery of San Lorenzo. In 1762 he published a treatise on harmony, 'Llave de la modulación'. Soler can be considered one of the major composers of the middle of the 18th century in Spain, whose reputation especially for his keyboard sonatas achieved international recognition. He composed some 200 of these, as well as 132 villancicos, 60 Psalms, 25 hymns, 13 Magnificats, nine Masses, six quintets for organ and strings, six concertos for solo organ, five Requiems, and five motets, as well as some miscellaneous pieces, over 500 compositions in total. His musical style shows the development of the sonata principle in his sonatas, and the organ concertos are still performed regularly today as exemplars of a florid church style. His brother Mateu Soler y Ramos (c.1720-1799) was a bassoon player and composer.
