He was born in W\u00fcrzburg in 1870. He lived in Gauting for a long time where he died in 1950. During the first decades of the 20th century Alberts composition were regularly played in concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alberts guitar method Lehrgang des k\u00fcnstlerischen Gitarrespiels has been used as the main method for generations of&nbsp; guitarists until 1950. Albert has also published a mandolin method and had one of the first mandolin orchestras in Germany. I have also used Alberts methods when I learned playing the classical guitar in the 60s and early 70s. And I do own a copy of Alberts mandolin method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very important was the first guitar quartet that has probably been founded by Heinrich Albert around 1909 in Munich. The first guitar quartet used different types of guitars &#8211; details about this first guitar quartet can be found in the referenced articles by Gregg Miner and Allan Morris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Andreas Stevens<\/strong> has got original documents from the heirs of Heinrich Albert, including two diaries and the guitars by Heinrich Albert. Albert played a special type of guitar constructed by Gelas.
