Gran Jota was written by Tarrega in 1872. His teacher was the well known guitarist Julián Arcas Lacal who already wrote a Jota Aragonesa in early years. This one by Tarrega is a revived and rewritten Jota inspired in the one by his beloved teacher.
The piece contains a showy Lisztean introduction with new variations alternated with repetitive refrains. It incorporates virtually every element of a virtuosistic technique that a classical guitarist can make possible on the instrument.
In adition to that, originally it is a group dance piece that usually is performed as a virtuosistic finale with voice, most of the time male and female accompanied by bandurrias, guitars, dancers playing castanets and as well as the solo instrumental version, it involves is performed as a virtuosistic finale with voice, most of the time male and female accompanied tremendous demanding effort technically speaking.
To me, it's a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Thank you for offering me such an happiness.
When for a dvd or a cd ?
Excellent play. I like it.
So, who can we say is the original composer? Arcas or Tarrega? Interestingly this piece seems to be widely known to be composed by Tarrega with no/little reference to Arcas.
Again, I enjoy your play very much. Hope more people recognize you as a world class player.
By the way can't get tired of listening to this piece, the best JOTA in guitar I've ever heard.
Me quedé absolutamente emocionado al escucharte. Estaba viendo cosas de Virginia Luque, la gran cantante de tango, y apareciste tu.
Soy y vivo en Zaragoza,capital de la jota, y tan acostumbrado estoy a escucharla e interpretarla a diario con amigos joteros (aficionados, en su mayoria, pero joteros auténticos de los que quedan pocos), que cuando la escucho fuera de mi Aragón, me emociono. Ahora me ocurrió lo mismo.
Solo puedo decirte:
GRACIAS.
Jesús.
