One of Europe's foremost experts on early guitar music explores
this little known but richly rewarding repertoire. In the
seventeenth century, like today, the guitar was often used for
chord strumming ("battuto" in Italian) in songs and popular dance
genres, such as the ciaccona or sarabanda. In the golden age of the
baroque guitar, Italy gave rise to a unique solo repertoire, in
which chord strumming and lute-like plucked ("pizzicato") styles
were mixed. Italian Guitar Music of the Seventeenth Century:
Battuto and Pizzicato explores this little-known repertoire,
providing a historical background and examining particular
performance issues. The book is accompanied by audio examples on a
companion website. Lex Eisenhardt is one of Europe's foremost
experts on early guitar. He teaches both classical guitar and
historical plucked instruments at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. He
has produced a number of highly acclaimed CD recordings, and has
given concerts and masterclasses in Europe, the United States, and
Australia.
