De Fossa : Ouverture Du Jeune Henri 2 Guitars

Francois de Fossa was born in Perpignan on August 31st 1775 & died in Paris on June 3rd 1849. He was one of the most influential composers for the guitar, an influence which was reflected in his close personal relationships with many well known guitarists of the early 19th century, & in particular, with Dionisio Aguado. The present work is a masterful arrangement by de Fossa of an overture to a classical opera, "Le Jeune Henri" by Etienne- Nicolas Mehul.
