Ecossaise is No.5 from a set of 24 pieces Opus 121 by composer Ferdinando Carulli, arr. Richard Wright. It is also a set-work in the ABRSM Grade 1 Guitar syllabus.

Ferdinando Carulli, born in Naples in southern Italy but for many years based in Paris, was a famous guitarist, a pioneer of the six-string guitar and its use in a solo role. He also composed much music for his instrument. His Opus 121, which was published in Germany around 1825, or perhaps earlier, consists of 24 pieces, mostly in dance rhythms. This one, presented here in a simplified version, is an Ecossaise, or Scottish dance, a popular genre in the early 19th century.
