Ouverture de Didon [CF:494-02971]

De Fossa was drawn to the contemporary composers of Paris in the early nineteenth century, including this operatic overture by Niccolò Piccinni. His arrangement for two guitars allowed amateur musicians to recreate the experience of the opera house in home settings. Editor Matanya Ophee points out, "These arrangements are designed to produce virtuoso sounding performances by using intermediate-level technical demands." For advanced performers.
