Biography: 

Stephen Dodgson was educated at the Royal College of Music, where he later taught theory and composition. He served in the Royal Navy, and then went on a travelling scholarship to Italy. From 1957 he began to broadcast on the radio. His works cover many genres, and involve almost every conceivable combination of instruments. His guitar music in particular has gained recognition, despite the fact that he does not play the instrument himself. His remarkable grasp of the instrument’s capabilities in a distinctly non-Spanish idiom deserves to be heard more widely. Although some might think his style an ‘acquired taste’, the structural skill of his pieces is a joy in itself. John Williams premiered many of his guitar works, including the first Partita and the first guitar concerto.
