Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829),  “The Complete Works Volume 28:  Concerto for Guitar & Strings,  opus 36″.
Edited & with an Introduction by Brian Jeffery.
Published by Tecla Editions.

This Volume 28 contains Giuliani’s Guitar Concerto op. 36 in A,  in the version for Guitar & String Quartet,  consisting of a Guitar part & parts for Violin 1,  Violin 2,  Viola & Violoncello (no score).

The 2 Volumes for this concerto in this Tecla series are:

*  This Volume 28:  the version for Guitar & String Quartet.  The guitar is a normal guitar (not a terz guitar).
*  Volume 29:  the arrangement of the concerto which Diabelli made forterz Guitar & Piano.

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

This concerto op. 36,  unlike the concertos opp. 30 & 70,  is not known to have existed in a version for full orchestra,  but only in this version for guitar and strings,  which can be performed either with a string orchestra or simply with a string quartet.
