  • Description

    In 2009, a large collection of guitar music from the Gitarristische Vereinigung Munchen ('Munich Guitar Society') was rediscovered in an attic in Munich. The collection included numerous significant works for guitar that had been long inaccessible with many by neglected composers who are deserving of exploration and revival. Wilhelm Schmoelzl's Introduction und Variationen exists on the threshold between Classicism and Romanticism, while Adam Darr's perfectly realised Sonata is notable for its striking use of Alpine folk music. The programme concludes with Carl Kamberger's witty and surprising Grand Fantasy, with its multitude of quoted themes and unconventional techniques.
