Giuliani – Composer Profile and Sheet Music
Mauro Giuliani(1781-1829) was a leading guitar figure of the Classical period. He was a prolific composer and virtuoso guitarist and teacher. His music forms an important part of the classical guitar repertoire and his studies are an essential repertoire for students. Unfortunately, Andres Segovia, who helped revive interest in the classical guitar in the early part of the 20th Century, was not a fan of Giuliani, so Giuliani’s music was rediscovered more recently (in the last 60 years).
Giuliani was born in Naples but spent time in other Italian cities. He was based in Vienna for many years where he got to know much of the classical elite class and notable composers such as Beethoven and Rossini. His music very much reflects the style and musical sensibilities of the time many of his works are like orchestral miniatures.
