Wenzeslaus Matiegka (1773-1830) is perhaps one of the most underrated composers for the guitar: his compositions largely unknown by the majority of guitarists, let alone classical music listeners. He was born in what was then Bohemia and established himself in Vienna in 1800, writing chamber, orchestral and sacred music in addition to guitar music. Matiegka is most famous for his Notturno, Op. 21 which interestingly was for many years attributed to Schubert. The Grande Sonate N° 1 in D, published in 1808, is one of his finest works, and is gaining the reputation of being one of the best and most ambitious works for guitar from the Classical era. The first movement, marked ‘Maiestoso’ in the score, is in classical sonata form and uses a wide range of textures, dynamics and articulations to develop the many musical ideas it contains. The second movement, Andante Molto, is an aria with moments of great intensity. The light hearted mood of the third movement, Rondo Capriccioso, belies a richness and complexity of musical ideas and devices, among which a virtuosic cadenza section and a section in canon and strict counterpoint that sounds very much like a homage to Bach.
Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) left his native Italy for Vienna where he achieved enormous success as a guitar virtuoso and whose friends and associates included Beethoven, Schubert, Hummel, Rossini and Paganini. He has over 150 published Opus numbers to his credit, including compositions for solo guitar, duets with guitar and other instruments, songs for voice and guitar and three guitar concertos. The Sonata in C Opus 15 is one of the great sonatas of the guitar repertoire. Although recognizably Giuliani, it is less Italianate and more Viennese in conception than most of his other works. The influence of Schubert and Beethoven is clearly in evidence. The first movement ‘Allegro Spirito’ is in classic sonata form, intense and relentless in nature with hardly a pause for breath. The second movement ‘Adagio Con Grande Espressione’ is an expansive aria and demands great lyricism in its interpretation; its coda uses thematic material from the first movement. The final ‘Allegro Vivace’ is a virtuosic, exhuberant and varied Rondo that plays many rhythmic tricks and extensively reuses and transforms thematic material from both the first and second movements.
Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806 – 1856) was a Hungarian composer and guitar virtuoso who, like Matiegka and Giuliani, was active in Vienna but a generation later, when late Classicism gave way to Romanticism. His compositional style displays influences of composers like Chopin, Mendelssohn and Schumann. He was a prolific composer and arranger. As an arranger he produced the seemingly impossible in his Opera Revue Opus 8: paraphrased transcriptions for the solo guitar of thirty eight operas of the day like ‘Rigoletto’, ‘The Barber of Seville’ and ‘La Traviata’. One of his most important works is the Bardenklänge Opus 13, an epic set of very varied compositions in thirteen parts, from the Schumann-like ‘Kindermärchen’, to the Mendelssohn inspired ‘Lied ohne Worte’ and the programmatic ‘Fingal’s Cave’. Bardenklänge ends with seven ‘Polonaises Favorites’, including the four on this recording.
Gilberto Dusman is a classical guitarist with a broad repertoire that spans four centuries of musical styles with a particular affinity for music of the late Classical period and for music from Latin America. He performs as a soloist, as accompanist and in chamber music ensembles.
He studied the guitar in London with Gilbert Biberian, Carlos Bonell and Graham Anthony Devine. He also studied Baroque performance with Trevor Pinnock and composition with Edward Gregson. He is a Bachelor of Music from the University of London, Goldsmiths College and a licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music London.
The album ‘Grande Sonate’ was produced by Gilberto Dusman of Magic Mountain Records. It was mastered by Christian Prévot of L’Estive Studios.
