First published in 1980, Traditions of the Classical Guitar has been described as the first book to examine in detail the many traditions of one of today’s most popular instruments. With its central focus on Andrés Segovia’s pioneering work in establishing the guitar as an international concert instrument, it goes on to examine in detail its subsequent developments with reference to great artists such as Bream, Williams, Díaz and Yepes.

Traditions of the Classical Guitar continues to be a classic of twentieth-century guitar scholarship, offering a challenging assessment to perceptions of the guitar’s progress throughout the ages. It is also a timely reminder of the glorious years of Segovia’s concert career between 1909 and 1987; Segovia himself said of the work: “Graham Wade has shown his love for the guitar from the first page to the last; true love and understanding”.

Graham Wade is internationally acclaimed as one of the foremost writers on the classical guitar, with over forty books and hundreds of articles for periodicals published. His works include biographies of Andrés Segovia, Joaquín Rodrigo, Julian Bream and Gina Bachauer, as well as books on guitar history and aspects of musical form.
