Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco e la chitarra

Abstract

Musicological investigation on the classic guitar repertoire by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, known Italian composer of the Twentieth Century, also active in the Hollywood film industry from the 40s. Castelnuovo-Tedesco was spurred to writing for the guitar by Andrés Segovia, for which he composed many of his guitar pieces, creating a comprehensive catalog, also important and significant for the history of the six-stringed instrument.
