Napoléon
Coste (1805 -1883)
Claude
Antoine Jean Georges Napoléon Coste was a French virtuoso guitarist
and composer. He liked to play a seven-string guitar; this guitar
with its floating string can be seen on the bottom left of a
famous photo of N. Coste, alongside other interesting types of guitar
(an image easily found on the internet).
Among
his many guitar compositions are 25 etudes. This one, with its
Chopin-like scalar meditation in the middle section, I found
particularly pleasing. The etude was written in the normal way in a
binary rhythm (2/4), but some melodies, as here, seem made to be
combined with the irresistible lilt of three-time, and tremolo always
brings a specially enhancing effect.
