Eric J Roth - Performer, Composer and Arranger

 

The Nineteenth Century Guitar, also called the Early Romantic Guitar, encompasses a style and a time period that began with the adoption of the 6-string single-course guitar around 1785 and ended this "Golden Age" of the guitar features beautiful melodies and textures, often adorned with stunning virtuosity.  The instrument is smaller than today's standard classical guitar and as a result the sound is surprisingly light and gentle.
