Anton Diabelli's Guitar Works:
A Thematic Catalogue
RTFT13/£34.95 |
Anton Diabelli is a guitar composer who differs in many respects
from the usual guitar composer of the early nineteenth century. Most of
the music he wrote was not for the guitar. He was active as a proof
reader, publisher and in these capacities learned to know many leading
musical personalities, such as Beethoven and Schubert, and had in many
ways a central role in the music business in Vienna. Whereas guitar
composers were usually players themselves, Diabelli’s activity as a
performing artist is unknown.
This catalogue details all the known works by Anton Diabelli for the
guitar, the original as well as the arrangements, in many different
forms. |
