Classical Guitar Events This Weekend in Amsterdam

About Classical Guitar

Emerging from the Renaissance lute and Baroque guitar traditions, classical guitar as a distinct genre matured during the 18th and 19th centuries with the development of the modern six-string instrument. It is characterized by the use of a nylon-stringed acoustic guitar, played primarily as a solo instrument or in chamber ensembles using intricate fingerstyle techniques. The repertoire features complex polyphony and varying tempos that prioritize expressive phrasing and rubato over a rigid percussive beat. Rooted in the Western art music tradition, the genre maintains an introspective and sophisticated mood, bridging the gap between historical European formal compositions and contemporary acoustic arrangements.

Also known as: Spanish guitar, Nylon-string guitar
