The Guitar in Venezuela

A Concise History to the End of the 20th Century. In contrast to his earlier monographic studies, Bruzual now presents us with a general historical treatise on the Venezuelan guitar, a panoramic view of a body of facts, figures, and works only touched upon in his earlier publications. This is the culmination of the author's scholarly work, a condensation of his knowledge and interpretative skill. I would like to express my gratitude to Bruzual for this work, a sentiment that, I am sure, guitarists and music scholars around the world will echo. Angelo Gilardino
