At the turn of the 19th century, Czech-born composer Wenzel Thomas Matiegka (1773 –1830) moved to the economically and culturally thriving city of Vienna. As a major exponent of both the piano and the guitar, Matiegka was a highly sought after teacher within the amateur musical circles. His Nocturne Op. 21 was printed in 1807, and interestingly, the then 17 year old Franz Schubert arranged this work with an additional cello part.
