Guido Fichtner (guitar)About
The 37 Sonatas M.S. 84 are mostly two-movement compositions (only the eleventh and the last four are single-movement works), on the model of the sonatas for violin and guitar. The one thing that is missing, compared with these sonatas, is a genuine slow movement. The first movement is always a Minuetto in 3/4 time, and is often of virtuoso character, whilst the second may be an Allegretto, a Valtz, a Rondoncino, etc.
This recording was made using a copy of the Panormo guitar of 1822 built by the Renato Barone. In the ritornelli, Guido Fichtner has added occasional little variations and embellishments to Paganini’s score, offering a reading that is highly virtuoso, brilliant and full of imagination to these original, important examples of the history of the guitar in the nineteenth century.
