Abstract

The present study aims to present six solo sonatas by Tommaso Giordani (ca. 1730–1806) as an example of guitar literature from the second half of the 18th century. These compositions were originally written for the English guitar with basso continuo accompaniment performed on the harpsichord and come from a collection entitled Six Solos for a Guitar with a thorough Bass for the Harpsicord, and one Trio for a Guitar, Violin and Bass, published by Longman & Broderip in London in 1780.
