He was taught music theory and cello by a priest. In his teens he taught himself to play the guitar, and chose to dedicate himself to the study and advancement of the instrument. His guitar performances were so popular in Naples, that he confidently began touring Europe. After a highly successful tour to Paris, he decided to make the French capital his home in 1809. Carulli strived to introduce the guitar to the upper-classes of Paris, and was successful as a teacher. Carulli contributed to the development of guitar design through his partnership with the famous french luthier Rene Lacote. Sheet central : | Dix-huit Pièces (27 sheet music) | |
