This collection presents, for the first time, the complete Mazurkas of Frederic Chopin arranged for solo classical guitar. The Mazurka is the only form the composer embraced throughout his lifetime. The distinctive and personal pieces are unimaginably varied and colorful, ranging from brief and vigorous dances to deep and complex extended works. Always achingly melodic and featuring surprising harmonies not evident in his other compositions, the Mazurkas are a true monument to Chopin's genius. These new arrangements were prepared with rigorous fidelity to the originals, while never sacrificing true playability. Careful attention to every detail of execution combined with thorough notes on each piece and the folk dance tradition that inspired them to make this unique offering truly user-friendly. Musically beautiful, idiomatic and accessible, this monumental collection is a breathtaking addition to the guitar repertoire. Written in standard notation only. Includes access to online audio.

Written in 2007 on the occasion of a friend'sbirthday, these variations are inspired by the music of the classical andromantic period. Among the most famous collections of the flute repertoire, forexample, are those of Mercadante, Beethoven and Chopin. In particular, those ofMercadante were taken as a model.

The theme is followed by four variations and a coda,bright and virtuosic.

The choice of dynamics and articulation is left to thediscretion of the performer, who will have regard to the execution practicetypical of the classical era.
