History of the flamenco guitar - Norberto Torres

It consists of three clear divisions: A historical approach to reconstruct its appearance and its position between the popular guitar used to accompany dances and certain sung poetry and the classical-romantic salon guitar. These sources are completed with the study of sound recordings from the beginning of the 20th century. Only once the definition of flamenco guitar and touch is reached, the doors are opened to the different schools, the technical and aesthetic features, as well as the life paths of great figures. The last one focuses on today's guitar: accompaniment and soloist, current trends and teaching.
