Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) – PDF Sheet music or tab with videos for classical guitar. Chopin never composed any guitar music but he is famous for saying “Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, except, possibly two.” However, a number of period composers and guitarists did make arrangements of his music which I will list here.

It is interesting that you say Chopin never wrote for the guitar. I have read that he was a guitarist and that he played it publicly…… no?
To my knowledge Chopin never played guitar. He did hear it though and appreciated it’s lovely sound.
