CafeMusic:
Apart from grand opera houses and big concert halls, classical music often found its home in more intimate settings. As far back as the 19th century, composers like Franz Schubert, among other renowned Viennese composers, hosted small concerts that we now refer to as "Schubertiads." This tradition of intimate musical gatherings persisted into the era of Chopin, who crafted many piano solos specifically for performance in relaxed settings, giving rise to the term "salon music."
In the realm of guitar music, Francisco Tárrega carried on this tradition, with many of his compositions reflecting the salon-style approach. While South American guitar solos may not have originally fit within this genre, they are well-suited to today's salon-style performances. Nonetheless, I prefer to characterize them as evocative yet refined café guitar music, combining relaxation with refined taste.
