This is a group of songs by Schubert whose piano accompaniments were arranged for guitar by Napoléon Coste, probably in about the 1830s, that is to say very soon after Schubert's time. They are now (2003) being published in Hebe.  Coste's guitar accompaniments are quite good and will be a valuable addition to the repertory for voice and guitar. They have not previously been published in a new edition in our time, as far as I know.

They are currently (2003) being engraved. As they are ready they are being put on this site. Others, in addition to the ones below, are in preparation.

A full introduction will be placed here later.
