This hitherto unkown composition was discovered by Andreas Stevens during his examination of a private collection in Munich in 2010.The autograph later went to the Bayerische Staatsbiliothek through mediation of Mr. Stevens where it is housed today as part of the Gitarristische Sammlung Fritz Walter und Gabriele Wiedemann.

The composition will be part of the "Complete Solo Guitar Works" by Giulio Regondi, and will be published by Brilliant Classics in the first half of 2014.
The score of the piece will be published soon by Chanterelle.
