The Classical Guitar in the U.S.A.

Prior to the early 19th century, the guitar was used primarily as an accompaniment to the voice. Eventually the expanding number of guitarists, the enlarging circle of composers writing serious music for the guitar, the increasing repertoire and virtuosity of the players, the crescendo of demands for recitals and public performances and the climactic design of the concert guitar (addition of the sixth string and improved acoustical properties) culminated in its acceptance as a respected performing instrument and the designation of Classical Guitar. So that even though the rich history of the guitar can be traced to circa 2000 B.C., the Classical nomenclature is of recent vintage.
