HANDBOOK OF GUITAR & LUTE COMPOSERS

HANDBOOK OF GUITAR & LUTE COMPOSERS by Hannu Annala & Heiki Matlick
There are separate chapters for each instrument, such as the Renaissance and the Baroque guitar, the Renaissance and the Baroque lute and the vihuela. This enables the reader to easily discover which composers have composed for a certain instrument during a certain era. There are short introductions about guitar and lute instruments as well as basic facts about their history. In addition to traditional composers, the book presents several modern composers, on whom there has been little information available. The list of concertos is new, containing information on more than 400 guitar and lute concertos dating from the Baroque until the present day. Serves as a practical guide for both amateurs and professionals. The authors used more than 70 music book sources, dozens of composer leaflets, as well as information from many modern composers for this book. 172 pp.
