The Sonata in C major was written by the Italian composer Mauro Giuliani.

Among other things, I did it at the tender age of 17 as part of the German music competition Jugend musiziert (young people make music) . So I have a special connection to this piece.
The Polish guitarist Marcin Dylla made a beautiful recording of Mauro Giuliani’s sonata in C major:
