Many individuals have inspired me and helped make my research possible. However, in brief words, I would like to personally thank Thomas Heck for his kind words of encouragement and brilliant insights into the Biedermeier era, Richard Long for offering multitudes of contextual information and access to his private collection, Bruce Holzman for his unyielding attention to detail, Michael Buchler for his assistance with Schenkerian analysis, and David Walker for sharing his impressive knowledge of guitar history and literature and offering his continued professional support. I would also like to thank my family for believing in me and the Tantalus Quartet for sharing the stage and the journey with me. Most of all, I would like to thank my wife for encouraging me with her unwavering devotion. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Musical Examples ...................................................................................................... v List of Figures........................................................................................................................ vii Abstract .................................................................................................................................viii I – Schubert and the Guitar in Biedermeier Vienna: An Overview...................................... 1 II – Schubert and the Guitar: A Resource for Accompaniment and Composition ............... 17 III – Schubert’s Repertoire with Guitar ................................................................................. 45 IV – Schubert’s Vocal Works with Guitar Accompaniment ................................................. 51 V – Schubert’s Instrumental Works with Guitar Accompaniment and Parts ........................ 85 Conclusion – A Summary of Schubert’s Contributions to the Guitar ...................................100 Appendix A – A Timeline of Nineteenth-Century Guitar Methods..................................................101 Appendix B – Extant Nineteenth-Century Viennese Guitar Methods and Studies...........................102 Appendix C – Giuliani, “Studio per la Chitarra”, Op. 1: A Comparative Study .............................106 Appendix D – “Schubert’s ‘Terzetto’ for Three Male Voices and Guitar, D. 80” on principles of . the Edition and Interpretation, by Franz Eibner.........................................................108 Bibliography ..........................................................................................................................124 Biographical Sketch...............................................................................................................133 iv LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES 1a: Etude No. 19 from Method for Guitar (1825) by Dionisio Aguado................................12 1b: Guitar and voice arrangement of “Wohin?” from “Die schöne Müllerin”......................12 1c: Original piano accompaniment from “Wohin?” ..............................................................13 2: Piano accompaniment and the guitar arrangement from “Andenken” ..............................14 3: Piano accompaniment and the guitar arrangement from “Heidenröslein” ........................15 4: Piano accompaniment and the guitar arrangement from “An die Musik”.........................15 5: Giuliani, Op. 120, No. 1.....................................................................................................39 6: Giuliani, Op. 120, No. 107.................................................................................................39 7: Giuliani, Op. 120, No. 2 and 7...........................................................................................39 8: Giuliani, Op. 120, No. 108.................................................................................................39 9: Excerpt from Quartetto, D. 96, mm. 38-41 .......................................................................41 10: Excerpt from “Die Nacht”, mm. 1-3................................................................................46 11: Excerpt from “Terzetto”, D. 80, mm. 8-10, 34-39, 63-69 ...............................................59 12: Excerpt from manuscript to “Terzetto”, D. 80, mm. 27-30.............................................61 13: Manuscript from “Terzetto”, D. 80..................................................................................62 14: Excerpt from manuscript to “Terzetto”, D. 80, mm. 24-26.............................................64 15: Schenkerian sketch of “Terzetto”, D. 80 .........................................................................67 16: Excerpt from “Geist der Liebe”, mm. 31-32 ...................................................................71 17: Excerpt from “Geist der Liebe”, mm. 45-46 ...................................................................72 18: First published edition of “Der Wanderer” with guitar accompaniment.........................79 19: Excerpt from first publication of “Ständchen” by J.
