Guitarist and composer Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829)
Mauro Giuliani began his musical studies with the cello but discovered the guitar, fell in love with, and mastered it. But there was little interest in the guitar in his native Italy where opera dominated, so he traveled all around Europe playing his own compositions, became famous, and finally settled in Vienna where he became part of that city’s musical elite. Giuliani's Guitar Concerto No. 3 is today's Midday Masterpiece.
