Matteo Carcassi

The nineteenth century was the era of virtuosos, and guitarists did not escape that trend. The instrument was young, everything remained to be written, and young talented players composing their own material were touring the concert halls of Europe. The Italian Carcassi was equally gifted for the piano (he was a piano and guitar teacher at the same time), but chose the guitar as the instrument that would dazzle French, British and German audiences.
