| | Heinrich Albert and the First Guitar Quartet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | [5] Prominent guitarists and guitar teachers in early twentieth-century Germany and Austria were Heinrich Albert and Hans Bischoff in Munich, Karl Henze in Berlin, Georg Meier in Hamburg, Margarete Müller in Dresden, and Jakob Ortner, Joseph Zuth, Viktor Kolon, and Louise Walker in Vienna. |
 | | The first such ensemble, the Munich Guitar Quartet, provided a model for the formation of other quartets, inspired a number of composers to write and arrange for the new medium, and was a major factor in the education of influential luthier Hermann Hauser. |
 | | Heinrich Albert’s key role at the turn of the century formed a link between nineteenth-century guitar tradition, and the Spanish school of Tarrega. |
