Carcassi was born in Florence, Italy, and first studied the piano, but learned guitar when still a child. He quickly gained a reputation as a virtuoso concert guitarist. He moved to Germany in 1810, gaining almost immediate success. In 1815, he was living in Paris, earning his living as a teacher of both the piano and the guitar. On a concert tour in Germany in 1819, he met his friend Antoine Meissonnier for the first time. Also a famous guitarist, Meissonnier published many of Carcassi's works in his Paris publishing house. For Meissonnier he also arranged a number of popular songs for guitar that were originally written for piano, including works by Théodore Labarre and Loïsa Puget. From 1820 on, Carcassi spent the majority of his time in Paris. In 1823, he performed an extremely successful series of concerts in London that earned him great fame, both as a performing artist and as a teacher. However, in Paris, a long time passed before his talents were truly recognized, partly because of the presence of Ferdinando Carulli. Carcassi was in Germany again during autumn 1824. Afterwards he performed in London, where his reputation now gave him access to more prestigious concert halls. Finally he returned to Paris. For several years, he made concert trips from here to the most important cultural towns of Europe, including London. After a short return to performing in 1836, he quit his concert practice around 1840 and died in Paris in 1853. His most famous works are collected in his 25 Etudes op. 60. In these, he managed to blend technical skills and brilliant romantic music. This is the reason his music is still played by so many classical guitarists today.

Roberto Tagliamacco: Concerto per la notte di Corelli

In 2013, to celebrate the second centenary of the death of Arcangelo Corelli, I played in an official concert held in his memory in Fusignano, his hometown. Corelli did not write for the guitar, but a few of his compositions were transcribed by some contemporary guitarist and certainly his name has always been associated in the history of music with the theme of the very famous <> (although the origins of this theme go back a long way before Corelli). In the guitar repertoire, well-known cycles of variations on this theme exist. My long history of friendship and working together with important Italian composers has made it possible for me to build a concert program with some new guitar compositions dedicated to Corelli, to which others have been added. They are all together in this anthology, with the exceptions of Corelliana by Davide Anzaghi, Per Arcangelo by Gilberto Cappelli and Corelliana Seconda by Paolo Ugoletti, published separately.
The cover picture, specially created by Norma Lutzemberger for this publication, celebrates this meeting between the modern guitar and Arcangelo Corelli.
