About
In fact, Paganini has proved to be one of the major exponents of the chamber repertoire for guitar. To it he dedicated fifteen quartets with violin, viola and cello, and in these works he demonstrates his ability to write for the six-stringed instrument masterfully.
Particularly noteworthy is the body of 18 sonatas for violin and guitar composed after 1828 and commonly referred to as “Il Centone”. In these works, the violin predominates for the most part, but the author nonetheless avoids a virtuosic handling of the protagonist in favour of a greater balance between the two instruments, as well as a greater blend of timbres.
The combination of the guitar and the violin is still today an unusual chamber ensemble, which is not often heard in concert.
