SOPHOCLES PAPAS: THE GUITAR, HIS LIFE

Sophocles Papas taught the classical guitar in Washington D.C. for nearly 60 years, and made the city a centre of guitar activity in the United States. This biography provides details about his early years in Greece, his beginning work with the guitar, his establishment of the Columbia Music Company, devoted solely to guitar music and still in existence, his connection with Andrés Segovia and their extensive correspondence, his friendship and correspondence with Carl Sandburg and his many guitar friends and students, such as Charlie Byrd. The book illustrates Papas's contribution not only to the classical guitar, but also to cultural life in Washington D.C. in the 1930's and later. It presents Papas in his roles as teacher, publisher, judge, collector, and even cook, and it contains a number of photographs of Papas, his family, and friends.
