Elegie
The work of Joseph Kaspar MERTZ, a native of Pressburg (now Bratislava), is one of the gems of early romantic guitar music. The virtuoso and composer became famous in the first half of the 19th century not only for his outstanding guitar playing, but also as a composer whose works were published by publishing houses in Vienna, Prague and Munich. Mertz's concert successes began on his first European tour during years 1841 - 1842 , which included performings in Pressburg, Pest, Olomouc, Dresden, and Krakow, among other cities. His oeuvre encompasses diverse genres, and in addition to his own original works, he has left numerous adaptations and transcriptions of music with a pan-European, as well as worldwide, territorial scope.
In creating the dramaturgy of these concerts, the universality of Mertz's legacy seemed to emerge naturally. It finds its source in the uniqueness of the music of the Central European area, which is characterised by the diversity of the many nations that coexist within it. The programme offers a varied palette of guitar music by the composer from Pressburg, who, in addition to his own original music, reflects the music of Czech, Polish and Hungarian composers.
