Mauro Giuliani, Virtuoso
Guitarist and Composer
RTFT11/£29.95*
|
|
The recognition and renown that Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) has enjoyed
in the latter twentieth century, thanks largely to the live and recorded performances of
his music, is certainly very gratifying to those who have worked to facilitate the
rediscovery of this pivotal guitarist/composer. Clearly it is now time to revisit the life
and works of Giuliani in the hope of reviewing and acknowledging in one convenient and
well-indexed book the old and the new, the false and the true. Readers familiar with the
author’s quarter-century-old dissertation will, on reading the present text, readily
appreciate the manifold ways in which the wait was worth it. Contains many illustrations,
photographs, musical examples, bibliography, a full Appendix of foreign language
quotations, subject and name indexes and more. 304 pp. |
