David Kellner - Phantasia in A major

Phantasia in A major by David Kellner, played by Anikó Juhász, Hungarian guitarist.
David Kellner was a German composer and lutenist who lived during the Baroque period. He was born in 1670 and died in 1748. Kellner is primarily known for his compositions for the lute and guitar, as well as for his contributions to the development of these instruments during his time.
Kellner's music is characterized by its intricate contrapuntal writing, expressive melodies, and rich harmonies typical of the Baroque era. His works often showcase a blend of German and French musical styles, reflecting the influences of the composers and musical traditions of his time.
One of Kellner's notable contributions to the repertoire for guitar is his collection of preludes, fantasias, allemandes, courantes, sarabandes, and minuets, which remains an important resource for contemporary guitarists and scholars interested in Baroque music for the instrument.
Despite being relatively lesser-known compared to some of his contemporaries, such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Sylvius Leopold Weiss, Kellner's compositions continue to be appreciated for their beauty and historical significance in the development of guitar music.
