Two Instruments, One Classical Journey
<p>The classical guitar has its roots in the European lute and vihuela of the 15th and 16th centuries, evolving into its modern form in the 19th century. This development was largely influenced by luthiers like Antonio de Torres, who enhanced the instrument’s design, size, and shape, thereby enriching its sound and playability. The 20th century marked a ‘Golden Age’ for the classical guitar, driven by maestros like Andrés Segovia, whose techniques and interpretations brought the instrument into the limelight of concert halls and expanded its repertoire. As a result, the classical guitar gained significant global influence, becoming a key instrument in diverse musical genres including classical, flamenco, jazz, and folk music.</p>
