Exactly twenty-one years ago, the Philharmonic Society of Guitarists was born and as such it is known throughout the _whole guitar world. In case some newcomers would be interested in finding out why such a name was chosen, and are wondering whether it sounds a little too ambitious and even pretentious, here is the explanation. I would like to tak e our readers back to th e year 1929, so that they could see things in the right perspective. At th at time, for us, th e originators of P.S.G., the world around looked very musical indeed, but entirely " guitar-less," so to speak. We knew nothing about the very existence of the American Guitar Society in Mr. R. Weston " J'ai p(,rdu mon Eurydice " Gluck California and were quite unable to trace one any Waltz Beethoven Study Carcassi where in England. Even more than that, there Minuetto 1 Bach were no records about the existence of any guitar Air from Rinaldo Handel, society here in the past. arr.

Johnson Tango Albeniz-Segovia Gavotte Bach-Segovia originate one, but we were inspired by unlimited Andante Grazioso, enthusiasm, and ready to defy all " birds of ill Op. 241, No. 22 Carulli omen '' ; so we took the decision.
