caption_attribution_description: Portrait of Giulio Regondi (1823-1872), Italian guitarist, concertinist and composer
context_page_description: Giulio Regondi was a Swiss-born classical guitarist, concertinist and composer active in France and the United Kingdom.
  Regondi was born of a German mother and an Italian father in Geneva, Switzerland. A child prodigy, Fernando Sor dedicated his Souvenir d'amitié op. 46 to Regondi in 1831, when the boy was just nine.
  There is a reference to his appearing in London in 1831, presented as a child prodigy of the guitar. Most of Regondi's concertina music was written for the English system, however, at which he was a virtuoso, though his guitar music is probably better known. His works for solo guitar comprise a set of etudes, variations on a theme by Bellini and five larger works.
  Regondi died in London.
