The Hungarian guitarist, Johann Kaspar Mertz, was the most lyrical guitar composer who worked in the 19th century. He was born in Pressburg (present Bratislava, Slovakia) on August 17, 1806.
His guitar styles are more similar to the pianistic forms of Chopin, Mendelssohn, Shubert and Schumann than earlier guitar forms employed by Fernando Sor, Dionisio Aguado (classical -- Hadyn Mozart) and Mauro Giuliani (bel canto - Rossini).
Johann Kasper Mertz's most prominent work is a collection of small pieces called the Bardenklänge (English : Bardic sounds), which are stylistically similar to the piano works of Robert Schumann. Interestingly these pieces are were inspired by a man who did not exist! Falaciously they were ascribed to a 3rd century bard called Ossian Gaelic, but in reality the work was written in the 1700's by the Scotsman James MacPherson. Even so, the poetry inspired many a Romantic European poet or musician.
