Francisco Jódar said that "next May 3 will be 20 years since the disappearance of the musical genius that was Narciso Yepes was a portentous interpreter, skilled, able to move with his interpretations, but also an innovator who was left Small traditional guitar so he had to invent the 10-string to share the musical compositions that popped in his head. His career was also a revulsive for the history of music, since he rescued from the forgetfulness of the music of all ages The ages, transcribing these sones and sharing them in their famous recitals by all the capitals of the world ".
