Coste: La Source du Lyson, op. 47, for solo guitar

The Source du Lyson, or the source of the river Lyson, is a noted beauty spot in Coste's native region of France, the Doubs. This piece is an example of the growing interest in romantic nature and actual places, the celebration of country life in art, just as in Berlioz or in Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony.
See the beginning of the Rondeau Villageois, from this edition.

Read the complete preface. Gives many details about Coste, his background in the Doubs, the relation of this work to the Doubs, Coste and the painter Courbet, etc.

The picture on the cover is from a travel book by Charles Nodier, author of the novel Trilby.
