Waltz Op.241 No.22 in G Major

Noel Hathaway • 14 July 2021

Ferdinando Carulli (1770 - 1841) studied the cello and the guitar in Naples before moving to Paris at the turn of the 19th Century. He was one of the first composer-guitarists and published a method.

Carulli was heavily influenced by the Austro-German 'Classical' style of composition and composed a number of programmatic works in keeping with the early Romantics.


This Waltz No.22 from Op.241 (he wrote more than 300!) is in G major. P, i, m fingers are the order of the day here, as is visualising the chords, so as to hold the notes for the full value and make the changes as seamless as possible.
