These studies constitute an irreplaceable part of the standard study material for classical guitar. They are designed to aid in maximum development of right-hand technique.

Giuliani's Six Preludes were composed while he was in Vienna, around 1816, or 17; he had left the city by 1819 and the work's dedicatee Joseph Stieler is probably the portrait painter of this name who lived in Vienna between 1816 and 1820. Although the preludes are primarily intended to develop right hand technique, arpeggio playing in particular, they are also musically interesting. Valuable as student exam or concert pieces, they may also be effectively used on a professional level.
