Perhaps Tarrega felt he did his best work in small gatherings, for sure, some of his best pieces are charming minatures. Though it should be said, Tarrega gave up playing with right hand finger nails, prefering the more mellow tone of flesh. But Tarrega did not perhaps have Segovia's vision for expanding the instrument onto the wider concert platform. If he had, it would not have been possible for him to have played in the way he did. I think it's important to remember a composer for his best works, not to belittle them with what they did not do, the way that Segovia often did. In his way, Tarrega gave much benifit to the guitar.
