Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga

Juan Crisóstomo Jacobo Antonio de Arriaga y Balzola (January 27, 1806 – January 17, 1826) was an early 19th-century Spanish composer who has been called the "Spanish Mozart."

Arriaga acquired this nickname after he died because, like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, he was also a child prodigy and an exceptionally gifted composer who died at a young age. Coincidentally, he was born on what would have been Mozart's fiftieth birthday.

Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga was born in Bilbao, Spain. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Juan+Cris%C3%B3stomo+de+Arriaga">Read more on Last.fm</a>
