Greeting Cards
Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco

Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco composed 52 Greeting Cards for various instruments between 1953 and 1967, collectively cataloged as opus 170, which he developed in a non-systematic way up to the year before his death. These pieces were conceived as gifts for his interpreters and students, which the author intended to gratify with these pleasing little vignettes. The 21 Greeting Cards for Guitar, written from 1954 to 1967, are here collected for the first time. Historical introduction and critical commentary in Italian and English.
