Summary/Abstract: The present article discusses the guitar pieces of the Silesian composer Edward Bogusławski. His artistic achievements in the field of classical guitar include only three compositions, which prove that that his treatment of the instrument was very comprehensive; he employed it in composing orchestral music (in the form of Concerto per chitarra e orchestra), chamber music (Trio per flauto, oboe e chitarra) as well as solo pieces (Musica per chitarra solo). I shall also present the importance of Bogusławski’s guitar works for the development of Polish guitar literature. Moreover, this article attempts to outline the importance and role of Boguslawski’s guitar pieces in the context of the development of Polish guitar music.
