I need to add the disclaimer that I appreciate Mozart, but have never been a great fan of his work. That said, there were plenty of just-post-Mozart guitarists who generated some very fine material for guitar. A couple of my favorites are de Fossa, Legnani, and Regondi. The Boccherini quintets and Sinfonia are pleasant enough. Paganini did pretty well by guitar as did the ubiquitous Sor and Giuliani. ...And Mertz, Carcassi, Carulli, Matiegka, von Call, Gragnani, Sychra, Weber, etc. Feel free to enjoy the guitar for what it is; there's no need to pine over what it has not been.
