Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) – PDF sheet music for classical guitar with free video lessons. Notation and/or tab editions available. Mertz was a Hungarian guitarist and composer active in Vienna and heavily influenced by the pianistic models of Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann. During his time he toured extensively as a virtuoso performer. The Bardenklänge (1847) are probably Mertz’s most important contribution to the guitar repertoire but many of his concert works such as Elegie & Hungarian Fantasy have become common concert repertoire.
