Johann Kaspar Mertz (in Hungarian: János Gáspár Mertz) (17 August 1806 - 14 October 1856) was an Austro-Hungarian guitarist and composer. [...] Mertz's guitar music, unlike that of most of his contemporaries, followed the pianistic models of Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann, rather than the classical models of Mozart and Haydn (as did Sor and Aguado), or the bel canto style of Rossini (as did Giuliani). Though the date of his birth indicates that that was the logical influence, since Sor was born in 1778, Aguado in 1784 and Giuliani in 1781 while Mertz in 1806, a difference of about 25 years. The Bardenklänge are probably Mertz's most important contribution to the guitar repertoire - a series of character pieces in the mould of Schumann. (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_...)
Johann Kaspar Mertz (* 17. August 1806 in Pressburg (heute Bratislava); † 14. Oktober 1856 in Wien) war ein ungarischer Komponist und Gitarrist der Romantik. [...] Seine Gitarrenkompositionen haben Ähnlichkeit mit Frédéric Chopins, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys und Robert Schumanns Klaviermusik. Im Gegensatz dazu folgten viele seiner Zeitgenossen (zum Beispiel Fernando Sor und Dionisio Aguado) Komponisten wie Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart und Joseph Haydn. Neben seinen Eigenkompositionen zählen zu Mertz’ Werk auch Bearbeitungen von Stücken anderer Komponisten. So verarbeitete er einige Schubert-Lieder sowie mehrere Opernarien zu Stücken für Gitarre solo. (Quelle: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_...)

The worrying part with these Breamy upbeat guitar virtuosos is that in the end you never know if they cached that train in time! This can keep me awake at night!

[@williamlovelady7217]

What is the name of the 2nd piece?

[@treasuresofsound9732]

Lied ohne Worte (Song Without Words). See video description.

[@williamlovelady7217]

Who is the guitarist? Sounds a bit like Carlos Perez. Really good player.

[@treasuresofsound9732]

@@williamlovelady7217 Are you messing with me? ;-) The guitarist is Adam Holzman. See video description! :-)

[@michaelenns8872]

Wrong title for Fingals cave ... it's Fingals Höhle, not Fingals Hohle.

[@sindebalt2451]

? cave = Höhle

[@paddymeboy]

I don't understand what is supposed to be bardic about this, even by the widest possible stretch of the term.
