Modern Guitar Music in Europe

The guitar is one of the most popular and expressive musical instruments in the world. Its history goes back to ancient string instruments. The modern acoustic guitar, according to the Cambridge Companion to the Guitar, was developed in Spain in the 17th-19th centuries. The guitar became very popular because it is very versatile: it is good for solo playing and for accompaniment, and is used in classical music, jazz, folk, rock, and of course, in instrumental music.

With the development of recording and movies, instrumental guitar music got a new life – from classical fingerstyle pieces to atmospheric ambient and neoclassical works.

Modern European Guitar Music

The guitar has a special place in European musical culture. It is used a lot in academic, folk, and modern instrumental music. The German book "Die Gitarre. Ein Instrument und seine Geschichte" ("The Guitar. An Instrument and Its History") describes how important the guitar is in European music. Its emotional sound and expressiveness have made it a favorite instrument for composers and many listeners.

In Northern Europe, especially Scandinavia, the music often has ambient, neoclassical, and atmospheric styles inspired by nature and silence. Spain is the home of the classical guitar. Here, flamenco and academic guitar schools were formed. In countries like Germany and Austria, the guitar is used in academic chamber music and neoclassical styles. In France and Italy, light acoustic guitar is popular in chanson and jazz manouche, with romantic and lyrical pieces. In Eastern Europe, especially Russia, the guitar is closely connected to singer-songwriter music but is also used widely in instrumental and neoclassical music.
