Ferdinando Carulli
[ Life | Works | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
Originally a cellist, Carulli was probably the first great guitar virtuoso. He wrote the treatise, Harmony Applied to the Guitar, as well as many study pieces. - MIDI FILE - Pezzo facile op.120 No.10 (2'06'') After several foreign tours he settled in Paris, then perhaps the capital of musical knowledge, where he acquired a large following as a teacher of the guitar. - MIDI FILE - Andante for guitar (5’55’ ) His compositions favour the scale now called chamber music. - MIDI FILE - Allegretto for
guitar (2'10'')
|
Carulli's compositions for the guitar include two concertos, musically insubstantial, but both effective vehicles for the instrument. - MIDI FILE - Capriccio in C, for guitar (3'30'')
