Guitar Music of Matteo Carcassi
Italian composer/guitarist, 1792-1853
There are a number of prolific composers from this era. Many of them studied and lived in Italy, France and elsewhere in Europe. The studies and methods by these composers are quite good material for developing basic fingerboard skills as well as sight reading skills. The harmonies tend to be quite basic so elementary musical theory and analysis of this music is also helpful. Keep in mind that the instruments of the time were typically much smaller than modern instruments - things that are easily fingered on a period instrument provide significant challenges on a modern instrument with a larger fingerboard. Many modern editions provide suggestions for how to resolve such issues.
