Martin HaselbockAbout
The composer Mauro Giuliani and the history of the guitar in the 19th century are closley associated with each other. His success as a performer, and the fact that he was one of the most important composers for this instrument, made a major contribution to increasing the popularity of the guitar at that time.
The first and second concertos, previously recorded by Edouardo Catemario, are considered to be the first great examples of the genre. The Third Concerto in F, Op.70, was composed in 1816 or slightly earlier. Instead of the normal classical guitar, Giuliani chose to write this work for chitarra terzina (terz-guitar), which is pitched three half-steps higher. The concerto shows a remarkable advancement from his first efforts. The new maturity of style is clear from the opening movement with its crisp and varied themes, accomplished orchestration, new harmonic language and mastery of form. Although there are numerous solo passages for the guitar, the cadenzas in this movement are not extensive, lending it greater continuity and finer solo-tutti balance.
