  Gustavo Carulli (15 June 1801 – 27 October 1876), called Gustave Carulli in French publications, was a composer, musician (pianist, singer, guitarist) and music teacher.
  
  ## Life
  
  Born at Livorno, he was the son of guitarist, singer and composer Ferdinando Carulli and the French Marie-Josephine Boyer. Gustavo learned the guitar and singing from his father, Ferdinando who, besides his well-known guitar works (such as his Méthode complette pour guitarre, op. 27, composed expressly for the instruction of his son), also published and arranged works for singers
  
  and even a method of singing and accompaniment of singing .
  
  Young Gustavo went to Paris with his father, where he studied piano under the polish Mirecki, harmony with Nicolo Isouard and composition with Ferdinando Paer.
  
  In 1825 his opera I tre mariti was performed in La Scala in Milan.
  
  In 1838 Gustavo Carulli published his Méthode de chant dedicated to Gilbert Duprez. Numerous of the teaching methods therein, were incorporated into Solfège des solfèges where he collaborated with Henri Lemoine; later Adolphe-Léopold Danhauser augmented Solfège des solfèges with additional lessons.
  
  Carulli is said to also have been fluent in an earlier style "the galant phraseology of the 1780s".
  
  He gave singing classes in his dwelling Rue de Provence 63 bis., living only 2 numbers away from Franz Liszt.
  
  In 1847, two of Gustavo Carulli's songs were awarded prices in a Concours des chants populaires.
  
  Later he moved to Boulogne-sur-Mer, where he remained and died. There one of his students was Alexandre Guilmant whom he taught harmony, counterpoint and fugue.
