About this item
Taken from early classical guitar music, Allegretto is a sort of “period minuet,” and clearly demonstrates the Italian style that parallels the work of Beethoven. Lloyd Conley brings us this well-crafted version, an ideal teaching piece for beginning string orchestras.

Composer
Mauro Giuliani (1781-1828)
Mauro Giuseppe Sergio Pantaleo Giuliani (July 27, 1781 – May 8, 1829) was an Italian guitarist, cellist and composer, and is considered by many to be one of the leading guitar virtuosi of the early 19th century.
Although born in Bisceglie, Giuliani's center of study was in Barletta where he moved with his brother Nicola in the first years of his life. His first instrumental training was on the cello—an instrument which he never completely abandoned—and he probably also studied the violin. Subsequently he devoted himself to the guitar, becoming a very skilled performer on it in a short time. The names of his teachers are unknown, and we cannot be sure of his exact movements in Italy.
