Not quite guitar, but Mozart did write two songs and the famous Canzonette from 
Don Giovanni for mandolin accompaniment.  Beethoven left four miniatures for 
mandolin and keyboard; Paganini, three: two with guitar accompaniment and one 
solo.  Hummel left a marvelous 3-movement concerto and 3-movement sonata for 
mandolin.  In spite of his obscurity, Hoffman's mandolin music, several sonatas 
and a concerto, is of good quality.  It was a good time for mandolin, and the 
guitar's good time was just around the bend.

Best,
Eugene
