Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841) Preludes et Morceau A-Minor op. 114 - Historic Classical Guitar

Op. 114 is a large collection o 48 Preludes and 24 Morceaux for Classcial Guitar by the prolific Ferdinando Carulli, Naples born Italian guitarist in Paris of the first half of the 19th century.
The work has been published in 4 graded parts (beginner - 3rd grade - 2nd grade - 1st grade in increasing difficulty) and recommended by Carulli himself as the most indicated studies to reach the highest levels of mastering the guitar.
Although taken for exercise and learning they represent a valid set of preludes and pieces for concert occasions: in the classic/romantic period musicians used to improvise introducing the piece they were going to play: that was the real sense of a prelude.
The preludes of Carulli under this point of view are not meant only to work out arpeggio and scale technique, but to explore a given tonality both harmonically and melodically. With his op. 114 Carulli more than that intends expressively to put light on how to improvise on guitar, a skill nowadays almost completely lost in classical guitar.
The guitar played in the video is a original french guitar in the Mirecourt style by Blehee from around 1835.
