Wenzel Thomas Matiegka's 'Sonatas (6) for guitar, Op. 31' is a collection of six sonatas for solo guitar. The collection was composed in the early 19th century, with the exact date of composition unknown. The sonatas were first published in Vienna in 1808. Each sonata in the collection consists of three movements: a fast opening movement, a slow and lyrical middle movement, and a lively finale. The sonatas are written in a classical style, with clear melodic lines and balanced structures. Matiegka's use of harmony is particularly noteworthy in these sonatas. He employs a variety of harmonic techniques, including chromaticism and modulations, to create a rich and complex sound. The sonatas also feature a number of virtuosic passages, showcasing the technical abilities of the performer. Overall, the 'Sonatas (6) for guitar, Op. 31' are a significant contribution to the repertoire of classical guitar music. They demonstrate Matiegka's skill as a composer and his understanding of the capabilities of the guitar as a solo instrument.
