Napoléon Coste was 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 that of his predecessors and in many ways more advanced. He lived mostly in Paris.
