My countryfellow (Piedmont, West-Northern Italy) Giovanni Battista Viotti wrote 29 concertos for his own instrument (the Violin) and Orchestra. I will never reach such a target, but nobody, in the future, will accuse me of laziness. So far, I have written 18 concertos, where the Guitar, either as a solo, or with other(s) solo instruments, is treated as a Queen. I do not know whether I will write a 19th concerto. So far, none of the 18 I already wrote remained unpremiered, but I believe that the life of a concerto should be longer that one day…
