Evening Masterworks: Mauro Giuliani's Guitar Concerto No. 3 in F for August 2, 2024

Mauro Giuliano’s Guitar Concerto in F Major is the third and final concerto the composer wrote. Giuliani was a guitarist himself, and in the 19th-century he was widely considered a virtuoso of the instrument. In his lifetime, the use of the guitar in mainstream classical music was a relatively novel development, but Giuliani caught a number of great musicians’ attention with his work, including Beethoven.
