Baltasar Ramirez, had been the greatest lute virtuoso in 16th Century Europe; that the art of lute playing had supposedly died in 1790 with the German Christian Gottlieb Scheidler. Hence he listened with a peculiar appreciation to the music of the blind man. He went home, spoke enthusiastically of its sweetness and its delicacy.
