ISBN 9781619114265. These compositions, like most of my music, are of Latin American roots, rhythms and melodies. However, the harmonies always have a jazz influence without losing that Latin flavor. Four of the five pieces in this book are dedications, except Lullaby of Love. I would say I wrote it for myself, and it is the only piece recorded by me on my CD Latin Dialog, released by Luthier Music. My hope with this music is to bring more guitarists closer to the Latin American literature for the guitar that is still much in need of recognition.- Jorge Morel.

Isaac Alb�niz (1860? 1909) �, senza dubbio, il vero fondatore della musica spagnola moderna.

Bambino prodigioe instancabile viaggiatore, la sua opera � impregnata dei colori e dei saporidella Spagna, paese che ha amato profondamente per tutta la vita. L?influenzadel Flamenco � accertata: Alb�niz era un habitu� delle taverne dove si cantavae suonava questo genere. ASTURIAS, ispirato dalla Grana�na (stile flamenco di Granada) � uno di quei brani che ha superato i confinidella musica prettamente classica, raggiungendo un pubblico planetario.

Questatrascrizione, pur conservando alcune idee geniali di Andr�s Segovia (latonalit� di Mi minore, le terzine a partire dalla terza frase, gli armonicinella sezione centrale), presenta una scrittura chitarristica pi� precisa, curatanei minimi particolari e una maggiore coerenza con l?originale. Diteggiature esoluzioni nuove per la mano sinistra danno vita a una partitura fresca, riccadi sonorit� inedite.

Isaac Alb�niz (1860 - 1909) is, without doubt, the truefounder of modern Spanish music.

Child prodigy and tireless traveler, his works are full of colorsand flavors of Spain, a country he has deeply loved all his life. The influenceof Flamenco is proven: Alb�niz was a regular in taverns where this genre wassung and played. ASTURIAS, inspired by the Grana�na(flamenco style of Granada) is one of those pieces that went beyond theboundaries of purely classical music, reaching a global audience.

This transcription, while retaining some brilliant ideas ofAndr�s Segovia (the key of E minor, the triplets starting from the third phrase,the harmonics in the central section), presents a more precise guitar writing,with attention to the smallest details and greater coherence with the original.New fingerings and solutions for the left hand give life to a fresh score, fullof new sounds.
