Frederik Carl Lemming (1782-1846)

Grande Fantaisie pour la guitare
edited by Jens Bang-Rasmussen

The Grande Fantaisie is the only piece by Lemming known to have survived until today. It is a major and dramatic work.

Like many early nineteenth century guitar compositions it conserves some lute technique, for example with chords played with a stroke of the thumb, and melodies played with the m and i finger, very rarely the a finger.

The title-page of the original edition of this work reads as follows: Grande Fantaisie pour la guitare composée par Frederik Carl Lemming Musicien de la Chambre de Sa Majesté le Roi de Danemarc. Propriété de l'Auteur. Christiania [Oslo] chez H.T. Winther. The edition can be dated October 1822. Copy: private collection.

Erling Møldrup has recorded this work on a CD entitled Guitaren et eksoisk instrument i den danske musik, Kontrapunkt/Steeplechase Productions EK6001, 1997.
