Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829),  “The Complete Works Volume 26:  Concerto for Guitar & Orchestra,  opus 30.  Arranged for Guitar & String Quartet″.
Edited & with an Introduction by Brian Jeffery.
Published by Tecla Editions.

This Volume 26 contains Giuliani’s concerto op. 30 in A,  in the version for Guitar & String Quartet.  There are parts for Guitar,  Violin 1,  Violin 2,  Viola & Violoncello. No score.

The 3 Volumes for this concerto in this Tecla series are:

*  Volume 25:  the version for guitar and full orchestra,  in A.  The guitar is a normal guitar (not a terz guitar).
*  This Volume 26:  the version for guitar and string quartet,  in A (same guitar part as in Volume 25).
*  Volume 27:  the arrangement of the concerto which Diabelli made for terz guitar and piano.  The guitar part here is a terz guitar so although it is written in A it actually sounds in C and the piano part is in C.

All are in facsimiles of the first editions,  parts only,  no score.

Giuliani composed 3 concertos for guitar,  opus numbers 30,  36 & 70.  This concerto op. 30 in A is the first and most famous of them.
