Legnani - 36 Caprices, Op. 20: No. 19 in B Major, Allegretto grazioso (Sheet Music)

Composer: Luigi Legnani Guitarist: Lucio Matarazzo I do not own this audio. Born in Ravenna, Legnani was trained as a string player while very young but dedicated himself to guitar and voice. His debut as an operatic tenor was in Ravenna in 1807; his singing career spanned 17 years. His career as a guitarist began with a concert in Milan in 1819, and continued with the 1822 concerts in Vienna and return visits in 1833 and 1839. He tried to continue the guitar tradition established there by Mauro Giuliani. Legnani is perhaps best known for his 36 Caprices op. 20 for the guitar, which cover all the major and minor keys, and which were probably inspired by Paganini's 24 Caprices for the violin. He and Paganini were friends from the 1830s; while it was once thought that he and Paganini performed together in public (Powroźniak mentions a concert in Northern Italy in 1837), there is no evidence to support this claim. Luigi Legnani (Ferrara 1790 - Ravenna 1877), guitarist, violinist and respected singer, wrote numerous works for the guitar. The most impressive is his 36 Caprices, Op. 20, which is exceptional in its variety and originality, exploring all the facets of the instrument, often in unusual key signatures. With this work, which has a prominent place not just in the teaching room but on the concert stage, Legnani has skilfully married melodic inspiration and impressive virtuosity, making use of many remarkable effects, both in sound and technique.
