Born in Olot in Catalonia and trained at the Escolania of Montserrat, Antonio Soler entered the Hieronymite monastery of El Escorial in 1752, where he spent the rest of his life as organist and choirmaster; there he studied with José de Nebra and, according to some sources, Domenico Scarlatti, and taught the Infante Don Gabriel. Besides some 150 keyboard sonatas, he left works for solo organ and six concertos for two organs that remain in the repertoire.
