The first book devoted to the composers, instrument makers and amateur players who advanced the great guitar vouge throughout Western Europe during the early decades of the nineteenth century.
Beginning with an exploration of eighteenth-century precedents, this book examines the extensive repertoire for accompanied song and chamber music. A substantive section assembles chapters on the most significant soloist-composers of the time. The chapters evoke the guitar milieu in the various cities where each composer-player worked and offer a discussion of some representative works.
