New Manuscript of Romanza discovered!
New manuscript of Romanza dicovered!
Leading 19th century music specialists have discovered what academics have confirmed to be the original manuscript of the world’s most famous guitar solo, Romanza. Age has wearied the manuscript and the composer’s name remains lost. However, barely legible musical markings confirm that for decades the performance practices of many beginner guitarists have led the vanguard of understanding of this sometimes complex music. Classical Guitar Review would like to thank Andrew Blanch and the Sydney Classical Guitar Society, who discovered the manuscript, for granting permission to publish this invaluable resource.

It doesn’t seem to be a manuscript but an old published copy by a publishing company. It would be considered a manuscript if it was written by hand. Maybe somebody can throw some light and explain why it is considered a manuscript. Thanks.

Funny!
Thanks Simon, I’ve been looking everywhere for my manuscript. I still have the second page but I only play it at special occasions.
