A Guided Path towards Music Cognizance

Abstract

[eng] When looking at the world of classical guitarists one can see that the general musical culture expected of a classical musician, often is lacking. I aim to improve the general musical knowledge of classical guitarists. Therefore, I have written a small guide comprehending the general course of music history that also focusses on the weaker or lacking aspects of classical guitarists, regarding their position in classical music. This guide contains a total of 65 musical works of various composers, illustrating a broad perspective of the course of classical music history from the Baroque via the Classical and Romantical style all the way to the Modern period.
