I’ve just published my new book “Mauro Giuliani‘s Study for the Guitar: Studio per la Chitarra, Op.1 – In Standard Notation and Tablature”.
Mauro Giuliani (1781 – 1829) was an Italian guitarist and composer. In his youth, he studied guitar, violoncello, and flute; however, he devoted himself exclusively to playing the guitar over time. Giuliani became one of the most renowned guitar virtuosos of the 19th century, known for his artistic temperament that always impressed and excited his audiences.
Mauro Giuliani composed over 200 works for guitar and is considered the „Mozart of the guitar“. He also changed the notation: Giuliani was one of the first guitar composers to use polyphonic notation for the instrument, in which the parts are distinguished by the direction of the stems of the notes.
Giuliani, unlike other first-generation classical guitarists, did not publish a method. Nonetheless, he left behind a vast collection of studies and exercises that are still utilized in guitarists‘ practice today.
Op.1 Study for the Guitar – Studio per la Chitarra includes:
- 120 Exercises for the Right Hand
- 16 Exercises for the Left Hand
- Techniques and Embellishments
- 12 Progressive Lessons
