'''Antonio José''' ([[December 12]], [[1902]] – [[October 11]], [[1936]]) was a [[Spain|Spanish]] [[composer]].
He was born '''Antonio José Martínez Palacios''' in [[Burgos]], but later dropped his surnames. He became a music teacher at a [[Jesuit]] school, and conducted the city choir in [[Burgos]]. His friends included [[Federico García Lorca]] and [[Salvador Dalí]]. [[Maurice Ravel]] apparently said of Antonio-José: "He will become ''the'' Spanish composer of our century." Nevertheless, Antonio-José's music lay forgotten until the 1980s. His most famous work is the [[Sonata (music)|Sonata]] for [[guitar]], written in [[1933]] for [[Regino Sainz de la Maza]], but not published until 1990. The piece is generally considered to be among the finest sonatas written for the guitar in the 20th century.
Antonio-José met the same fate as Lorca - he was executed by a [[Falange|Falangist]] firing squad in 1936 at Estepar (Burgos).
