El Fons Miguel Casals Aragonés de la Biblioteca de Catalunya: el fil de vida d'un compositor desconegut Authors Anna Maria Anglada i Mas Abstract The inventory of the musical holdings of the composer Miguel Casals Aragonés (M-MCas), of whom no significant facts have been known up to now, has been made available to the public on the website of the National Library of Catalonia. This study has been possible organising, classifying and describing the musical manuscripts. The few facts that are known to us about this pianist and composer brought up a series of questions in connection with him. The purpose of this paper is to make a preliminary effort to fill in the blanks that cause Miguel Casals to hold no place in the collective memory. A priori, all the data obtained directly from the holdings were to form the basis of our research. Then, by studying this information, we would delve further into the various hypotheses in search of sources which would finally corroborate and provide an answer to the respective questions and the documentary lacunae so that the results of our research could be solidly supported. This paper is consequently presented as a collection of data recovered from the inventory of the holdings to form a timeline of the composer's life, supplemented with the information obtained from other documentary sources and archives discovered as a result of our study of the holdings. Miguel Casals Aragonés, born in Barcelona in 1857, can now take his place in our musical historiography on the basis of his work, a body of music comprising over 300 pieces which should no longer remain in oblivion now that the timeline of his hitherto unknown life has become a reality.
