The sign is on the wall of the house where the Spanish composer Juan Arriaga (1806-1826) died before he was 20 years old. Arriaga was called the "Spanish Mozart" also because of the young age at which he began composing. Went to Paris (1821) to study at the Paris Conservatoire, where he contracted tuberculosis which he did not survive.
