William Foden
William Foden (23 March 1860 – 9 April 1947) was an American composer, musician and teacher. Foden is considered to have been the USA's premiere native born classical guitarist during the 1890s and first decades of the twentieth century.〔Douglas Back, in the preface to the edition of Foden's ''Grand Sonata in G major'', Digital Guitar Archive (DGA Editions, 2007), p. 3.〕
==Life==
Foden was born in St. Louis, Missouri and initially started with the violin at age 7, changing from age 16 to the mandolin and classical guitar. He studied guitar with William O. Bateman (1825–1883), "a successful lawyer, music engraver, guitarist, and nationally recognized guitar composer"〔D. Back (2007), as above.〕 His professional began in the 1880s, gaining national notoriety from the early 1890s. "Having an aversion to traveling and leaving his family, he did not fully capitalize on his growing fame"〔D. Back (2007), as above.〕 until 1904, when he was invited to play at Carnegie Hall.
In 1911, Foden and his family moved to the New York area (Englewood, New Jersey), after a successful eight-month tour of the United States and British Columbia together with Giuseppe Pettine (mandolin) and Frederick Bacon (banjo), with newspapers referring to them as "The Big Trio".〔D. Back (2007), as above.〕 At Englewood, he taught guitar and other fretted instruments at a studio at 42nd Street. For the publisher Wm. J. Smith he arranged numerous works for mandolin orchestra, guitar, banjo, ukulele, and Hawaiian steel guitar. His ''Grand Guitar Method'' in two volumes (1920, 1921) contains numerous original compositions, in addition to nearly 50 solo compositions published independently. He also left more than a hundred compositions and arrangements in manuscript.
