Ajoutée par magataganm, 23 Fév 2013 Mauro Giuseppe Sergio Pantaleo Giuliani (1781–1829) was an Italian guitarist, cellist and composer, and is considered by many to be one of the leading guitar virtuosi of the early 19th century. This sonata was first written as work for flute and guitar in 1817. In keeping with the business practices of music of the day, Giuliani also had published a violin version. The music is very tuneful, using the kind of operatic Italian melody which Rossini was making popular. The entire sonata is nearly 20 minutes long and is a very pleasing, though hardly deep, work. Although the guitar is more closely associated with Spain than with any other country, it was Italy which brought it into the concert hall. Paganini, the famous violin virtuoso, was an avid and very able guitarist who frequently wrote for the instrument. Mauro Giuliani was the most celebrated concert guitarist of the time. He became famous during the late days of the Classical era, and even Beethoven wrote guitar music for him. His rise to fame paralleled that of Rossini. His instrumental style occupies similar ground in the continuum between the Classical and the Romantic eras. Although this piece was written for Guitar and Flute (or Violin), I created this arrangement for Flute and Concert (Pedal) Harp. Partition centrale : | Gran Duetto Concertante (2 partitions) | |
