Nineteenth-century guitarist and composer François de Fossa is thought to have written this piece for his wife as a pre-nuptial gift, originally published circa 1825. The fantasy is based on the Adante quasi allegretto from Beethoven’s Serenade Op. 8 for violin, viola & violoncello, originally published in 1797.
This updated edition offers meticulous edits from Editions Orphée founder Matanya Ophee with assistance from guitarist Luis Briso de Montiano, including fingerings where they were previously sparse, and re-aligned, modernized notation.
