Opis

Presents ideas and research on the history and development of the guitar and its music from the Renaissance to the dawn of the Classical era. This book also provides information about players, composers, instruments, and surviving compositions from period, and examines how the five-course guitar gradually gave way to the six-string instrument.

Recenzje

Books on the history of the guitar are not in short supply but this one is one of the very best ... Tyler's contribution is excellent ... The Guitar and Its Music will open the eyes of those who think that the instrument is fit only for rock stars, born-again evangelists - and the occasional Prime Minister.
