(1908-1979)
Composer and pianist of the post-war period, he taught harmony and composition at the Music Conservatory of Valencia. Thanks to Narciso Yepes (who was one of his students) Asencio began to compose Guitar music, producing, between his best works, the Suite Valenciana, the Suite mistica, Collectici intím and the Homenajes (homages to Scarlatti, Lorca, De Falla), all compositions written according to the post -impressionist taste.

The life of Vincente Asencio overlapped those of both the new-wave romantic and the avant-garde Spanish composers, but he did not quite fit into either category. He rejected atonality as 'uninteresting' and though he declared himself to be a 'tonal' composer his was not the cloudless tonality of, for instance, Granados or Albéniz. Although his music often expressed uncomplicated and ebullient joy, it perhaps more often reflected his quiet, reflective and devout character; he described himself as 'un intimiste' and underlined it with his Collectici intím.

(1908-1979)
Compositore e pianista del secondo dopoguerra, insegnò armonia e composizione al Conservatorio Superiore di Musica di Valencia. Fu grazie a Narciso Yepes (che fu suo allievo tra i 13 e i 19 anni) che Asencio si accostò alla composizione per chitarra, producendo, tra i suoi migliori lavori, la Suite Valenciana, la Suite mistica, Collectici intím e gli Homenajes (omaggi a Scarlatti, a Lorca, a De Falla), tutti di gusto post-impressionista.
