Repertoire
One of the finest and most important achievements of the Royal Guitars is their contribution to the extension of the repertoire for two guitars.They have succeeded in doing so by, at all times, being open-minded and interested in new ways of expressing themselves as musicians. They have:
- sought and found forgotten, valuable original works for two guitars at the Royal Library in Copenhagen,
- asked important composers to write works for them,
- composed a large number of works in different musical styles themselves, and
- created important contacts within the Latin American and Ragtime music scene.
