Abstract


The importance of music in Cervantes’ works has, beyond the characterization of the different situations in which it appears, an important significance: that of the musical instruments and of their particular sonority. In the case of the guitar, all of its appearances in Cervantes’ works are presented here, as well as the context that the instrument evokes, very different from that of the lute and vihuela. Music and musical instruments with very clear roles and qualities, both of which reflect the differences between popular culture and that of the elites.
