Giulio Regondi

Giulio Regondi (1822 – 6 May 1872) was a Swiss-born classical guitarist, concertinist and composer active in France and (mainly) the United Kingdom.

Regondi was born of a German mother and an Italian father in Geneva, Switzerland.

In 1831 Fernando Sor dedicated his Souvenir d'amitié op.

There is a reference to his appearing in London in 1831, presented as a child prodigy of the guitar.

His works for solo guitar comprise a set of etudes, variations on a theme by Bellini and five larger works.
