Publisher's Synopsis

Charles (Karl Wilhelm August) Blum Berlin, 1786; +Berlin, 2nd July, 1844. Blum's achievements in other areas of the arts prevented him from writing a more substantial body of works for the guitar, but with the guitar as his instrument of choice the works he left behind display a high level of technical skill both in the writing and in the physical techniques they infer. Taking the anthem, 'God Save the King' as his subject, Blum set down this substantial fantasy-like set of variations which deserve recognition and reappraisal as an enduring classic of the repertoire. ---- Blums Errungenschaften in anderen Bereichen der Kunst hinderten ihn daran, ein umfangreicheres OEuvre an Werken für Gitarre zu verfassen, doch indem die Gitarre das von ihm bevorzugte Instrument war, weisen die Werke, die er hinterließ, eine hohe technische Versiertheit auf, sowohl was die Komposition als auch die erforderlichen interpretatorischen Fähigkeiten betrifft. Indem Blum die Hymne 'God Save the King' zu seinem Thema machte, brachte er diese substantielle und fantasievolle Reihe an Variationen zu Papier, die Anerkennung und Neuaufnahme als echter Klassiker ins Repertoire verdient.
