Development history:
Guitar is a major category of classical harpsichord. As early as the eighth and ninth centuries, there were guitars and Latin guitars. The earliest guitar music began to sprout in the13rd century by King Alfonso X of Castilla.
/kloc-In the 5th century, another subclass of harpsichord, the lute system, began to rise, gradually eliminating the original * * * guitar, and the Latin guitar evolved into a Bevela piano.
/kloc-The piano of Bevila in the 0/6th century was played by touching the strings directly with fingers, which was widely spread among the royal family and nobles.
The most popular period in Spain is 1535- 1578.
Lute also laid the foundation of classical music in16th century, and it still occupies a place in the subordinate category of harpsichord.
Before the Renaissance, the development of harpsichord was relatively weak.
With the continuous creation and improvement of musicians.
During the Renaissance, that is, in the16th century, the popularization of lute and Bevela reached an unprecedented grand occasion.
A number of musicians and composers have emerged.
During the Baroque period, Spanish guitar became very popular among people because of its easy playing.
The lute still achieved an important position in this period, and produced the great "fathers of music" Bach and Wise.
Their contribution to pipa music can be said to be unparalleled.
Lute, Bevela and later guitar are all important types of harpsichord, which have been promoting and developing each other in terms of repertoire, playing techniques and production techniques.
Before the classical period, "guitar" had four complex strings and five complex strings. The disadvantage of complex strings is that the number of strings makes tuning more troublesome, so the improved form of banjo soon became popular.
1790 (Geng Xunian), the Germans added the sixth string, which made the six-string tuning of guitar EADGBE appear for the first time.
The finalization of the hardware technology of classical guitar originated from the improvement made by Spanish violinists in the middle of19th century, and established the national standard chord length of 65cm, which is still in use today.
From 65438 to 0946, American scientist Bert Augustine developed nylon strings to improve the string materials of classical guitars, harps and pipa.
Nylon strings can not only withstand higher tension and more drastic changes in physical environment, but also have a longer life, which can greatly improve the tone and volume of classical guitars and almost completely replace fragile narrow strings.
