Legnani 36 Capriccios Op.20 for Guitar

Luigi Rinaldo Legnani (1790 – 1877) was an Italian virtuoso guitarist, singer, composer and luthier.  Born in Ravenna, Legnani was trained as a string player while very young but dedicated himself to guitar and voice.  His debut as an operatic tenor was in Ravenna in 1807; his singing career spanned 17 years.  His career as a guitarist began with a concert in Milan in 1819, and continued with the 1822 concerts in Vienna and return visits in 1833 and 1839.  He tried to continue the guitar tradition established there by Mauro Giuliani.

Legnani composed some 250 works, which were published in his lifetime throughout many of the major publishing houses in Europe. He died in Ravenna.
