Hello early guitarists,
I just received a query: “Do you know the earliest publications for lute and/or
guitar in which harmonics were used?”
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jocelyn
One of the first works that come to my mind is Mauro Giuliani's
Rossiniana nr. 1 op. 119 (published in 1821-22):
http://www.muslib.se/ebibliotek/boije/pdf/Boije%20200.pdf (page 3, first
three staves)
In his "Escuela de Guitarra" (1825) Dionisio Aguado stated that the
invention of artificial harmonics must be credited to François de Fossa,
who described how to perform them in his preface to the "Ouverture du
jeune Henri, arrangée pour deux guitarras":
