Discusses the distinction between the guitar and the vihuela da mano, drawing from 16th- and 17th-c. theoretical writings and the original sources of guitar music. Describes the construction, tuning, and playing techniques of the four-course guitar and surveys the repertory of this instrument, starting with Alonso Mudarra's Tres libros de musica (1546). Distinguishes this instrument from other medieval and Renaissance instruments that have been wrongly called guitars. (Joyce Tyler, abridged) RILM NO.: 76-03901-ap1975.
