Reginald Smith Brindle
Reginald Smith Brindle (1917 — 2003) was a British composer and writer.Although he wrote for many instruments, Smith Brindle was perhaps best known for his solo guitar music, especially El Polifemo de Oro (1956), written for Julian Bream. Other guitar works include five sonatas (1948, 1976, 1978, 1978, 1979).
Smith Brindle was also an expert on the music of 20th-century Italian composers such as Luigi Dallapiccola, Ildebrando Pizzetti and Bruno Bartolozzi (he studied with all three). He played many instruments, but was particularly fond of the guitar, organ and saxophone.
