Italian classical guitarist Roberta Gennuso performs Caprice No.7, Op.20 by Luigi Legnani (Italy, 1790-1877). This comes via Gennuso’s YouTube channel. Wonderfully energetic performance by Gennuso with incredible zippy lines and articulation. As she mentions via her YouTube description:

“Luigi Legnani, a virtuoso guitarist and composer, was known for his brilliant and expressive writing for the instrument. His 36 Caprices showcase a wide range of technical and musical challenges, much like Paganini’s works for violin. Capriccio No. 7 is a striking piece, full of energy, rich harmonies, and intricate passages that highlight Legnani’s mastery of the classical guitar. I hope you enjoy my interpretation!”
