English
Adolf Groebming, who was a very attive music pedagogue and choir conductor, was among the first professionals in Slovenia to start arranging traditional pieces for the guitar. He also wrote a Guitar Method, first published by Minka Modic Co. in 1925 and later, a revised edition in 1931. Noticing the advantages of this popular instrument so much favorized in amateur circles, Groebming’s intention was to present the basic didactic information and give elementary guitar instructions. In his guitar School preface we find the following statement: “The guitar is a very favorite and convenient instrument, especially for accompanying singing, violin, mandolin, tambura and other similar instruments. Before the intrument [guitar] was driven out of concert halls by certain modern instruments [such as piano or violin] it was also popular as a solo instrument. However it is stili accepted as an accompanying instrument and is very widespread among our people…” (Uros Dojcinovic: Guitar Compositions from Yugoslavia. Vol.III Slovenia, 2003)
