On this day in 1893 was born maestro Andres Segovia.
Segovia was a workaholic. He passed 50, then 60, then 70 and moved into his 80's still practicing five hours a day. When asked why he continued to work so hard at his age, he replied: “Because I will have an eternity to rest.”
Segovia gave 5,402 concerts, appearing on stage every year from 1909 to 1987. He toured 60 countries and 723 cities. He produced about 50 long-playing records, most available today in CD format. Segovia participated in hundreds of broadcasts and television appearances, and in the 1950s began giving master classes.
