Amparito Roca is the name of a piece of music composed in 1925 by Spanish musician and composer Jaume Teixidor (1884–1957) who named it after one of his piano students, then 12-year-old Amparito Roca (1912–1993).
It was first performed in September 1925 in the theater El Siglo in the town of Carlet where the composer lived at the time.
The score was published in Madrid later in 1925 by Música Moderna, and then in Barcelona by Joaquim Mora in 1928.
[1] A book has been published (written in Spanish) under the auspices of the Ajuntament De Carlet, Valencia, with the title "Amparito Roca, El Pasadoble Del Mestre Teixidor".
[2][3][circular reference] "The assumption is that after Ridewood failed to apply for the copyright, Teixidor re-scored the paso doble for Spanish bands and then reissued it as Amparito Roca under copyright as his composition.
