Cimarosa, Domenico - Tres Sonatas

The Cimarosa Sonatas represent a chest of melodic ideas in which the Neapolitan universe of contrasts takes shape, where freshness sometimes alternates tender melancholy and heartfelt sadness that have always been the counterpart in the culture of that city. Domenico Cimarosa was one of the most prominent opera composers of the late 18th century. He is a transitional figure between the generation of classical operas of the second half of the 18th century (e.g., Gluck and Mozart), and the later generation of early 19th century Italian composers such as Rossini and Donizetti. The work of Jorge Martínez Zárate as a composer and transcriber is vast, he has written original works for one and two guitars and has made more than a thousand transcriptions, a large number of them have been published in Argentina and also in the United States, France and Italy.
