Maurice SUMMERFIELD

The Classical Guitar: Its Evolution, Players and Personalities since 1800

Although many books have been written on the subject of the guitar this is the first book to cover, in a definitive way, the classical guitar since 1800. Maurice Summerfield has for over 46 years played, listened to and studied the classical guitar. This new revised and updated edition introduces a brand-new page layout for the biographical sections. These sections now include over 485 detailed biographies of the major classical guitarists, composers, scholars, flamenco guitarists, guitar makers and personalities since 1800. Through these, and the chapter devoted to its evolution, the reader can gain a full and clear picture of the classical guitar's development since the beginning of the 19th century. The collection of photographs of classical guitarists in this book is the finest and most complete ever put together in one volume. Added to this, every important classical guitar recording ever made is listed. The final section, Sources of Supply, ensures that nearly every record, book, magazine and piece of music listed in the book can be obtained by the reader. The Classical Guitar: Its Evolution, Players and Personalities since 1800, is an absolute must for classical music lovers and guitarists alike. It is, without doubt, the essential work of reference on the subject of the classical guitar.
