Antonio Martin y Coll

Although usually described as a composer, this late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Spanish musician was less a composer than a collector; very few pieces are known to have been composed by him, while a wealth of music by other composers is preserved in his four-volume organ music collection Flores de Música. The date and place of Martin y Coll's birth remain unknown, and the date of his death can only be estimated (ca. 1735, and certainly not before 1733).
