Napoléon Coste (1805-1883)
A major figure in guitar composition of the
mid-nineteenth century. He belonged to the generation
after Sor (with whom he studied), and he created a new idiom for
his instrument which is quite different from his predecessors
and in many ways more advanced. He lived mostly in Paris.
He was born in the Département of the Doubs,
France, where the beauty spot known as La Source du Lyson is
situated.
