Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856). Nocturne Op. 4 No. 2. Classical guitar played by: Tobias Nilsson.

The Austrian J.K. Mertz was one of the leading figures in Europe to maintain interest in the guitar after the era of Sor and Guiliani. Mertz was a guitarist and composer during the romantic era. Nocturne means nocturnal music and comes from the latin nocturnus. These are slow romatic pieces, usually short, with distinctly beautiful melodys. This Nocturne may be simple but in my opinion very beautiful. Less is more! Please feel free to comment! Recorded 2021. Hope that you will enjoy my interpretation. Big thanks to Per-Olov Kindgren for helpful support. Link to his website: Take care! Greetings! //Tobias Nilsson
