Four Album Leaves, Op. 28 is a set of pieces for piano solo composed by Edvard Grieg. The set was first published in 1878 in Leipzig by C.F. Peters. The Album Leaves were composed over the span of almost fifteen years. As such, they present a fascinating cross-section of Grieg's pianistic and compositional development. They are arranged in chronological order as follows: Allegro con moto (1864), Allegretto espressivo (1874), Vivace (1876), and Andantino serioso (1878).Having realized some years ago that due to GriegâÂÂs way of writing for the piano, that they would fit wonderfully on two guitars, I began with this set, and then moved onto more of his works, finally transcribing his complete set of 10 books of Lyric Pieces (66 pieces in all), all of which are available as separate publications at Les Productions DâÂÂOz. I hope you enjoy playing them as much as I, and my duet partner Ann, do.Quatre feuilles d'album, op. 28 est un ensemble de pièces pour piano seul composé par Edvard Grieg. L'ensemble a été publié pour la première fois en 1878 àLeipzig par C.F. Pierre. LâÂÂalbum Leaves a été composé sur une période de près de quinze ans. En tant que tels, ils présentent un aperçu fascinant du développement pianistique et compositionnel de Grieg. Ils sont classés par ordre chronologique comme suit : Allegro con moto (1864), Allegretto espressivo (1874), Vivace (1876) et Andantino serioso (1878).Ayant réalisé il y a quelques années qu'en raison de la manière d'écrire de Grieg pour le piano, elles s'adapteraient àmerveille àdeux guitares, j'ai commencé avec cet ensemble, puis je suis passé àd'autres de ses à Âuvres, pour finalement transcrire sa série complète de 10 recueils de paroles. Pièces (66 pièces au total), toutes disponibles sous forme de publications séparées aux Productions D'Oz. J'espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir àles jouer que moi et ma partenaire Ann, en duo.

The philosopher and mystic G. I. Gurdjieff, born in Caucasus at the border between Armenia and Turkey, developed a theory which is supposed to mediate between the esoteric knowledge of the East and the scientific thinking of the West. In collaboration with the Russian composer Thomas de Hartmann, he created a series of piano compositions in which melodies from Far Eastern religions are included. Now, some of these works have been arranged for two guitars for the first time since this is suggested by the relationship of the guitar to Asian plucked instruments, such as the lute or 'tar', for tonal reasons. Thus, the clarity and power of this music is expressed in a delicate and colourful way.

Composed for two guitars, this suite in three movements was inspired by a trip to northern Chile with two close friends whose lives have been dedicated to Human Rights activism and to whom the suite is dedicated. Each of the three movements evokes the spirit of the place where the music locates itself. The first movement, Tongoy Sea captures the sleepy seaside town of Tongoy on the Pacific coast with its long stretch of beach onto which spills the village, the fishing boats and the fish market while families gather in the local fish restaurants that line the beach looking out to sea. The second movement, Tololo Sky, recalls the long car drive up the winding mountain towards the Inter-American observatory, Cerro Tololo. Driving up the mountain I was struck by the starkness of our car winding its way on a single desert mountain road surrounded by a vast sky of an intense and translucent blue. The final movement, Elqui Earth, evokes the gentle slow pace of the town of Vicuña, birthplace of the poet Gabriela Mistral in the Elqui Valley. This fertile stretch of green with its abundant vineyards and fruit orchards stands out against the dry mountains that encircle it below a limpid sky. Dominique Le Gendre (2023).

Padre Antonio Soler is the most important Spanish composer of keyboard instruments of the XVIII century. Born in Olot he was baptized in 1729 and died in El Escorial in 1787. As a young boy he entered the Escolania of Montserrat, where he studied composition and organ, coinciding at the same monastery with the also Spanish composer of that time, Fernando Sor. Padre Soler spent great part of his life in El Escorial as chapel master and organist and met in Madrid Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti with whom he developped a deep friendship inspired on mutual admiration.In spite of the similar styles of both composers the fluid inspiration of Padre Soler excels for his own personality, definitely influenced by Spanish roots. Furthermore, I ask myself if the fact of being at the same monastery of Montserrat with guitarist composer Fernando Sor didn't play an important role in the future development of Padre Soler's style.I have transcribed for two guitars these three sonatas in the hope that also the guitarists can enjoy playing these little jewels, truly musical delights, that Padre Antonio Soler left for us.

Louise Farrenc was a profoundly influential French composer, performer, professor, and author. Though she would ultimately become quite a sought-after performer, her potential as a composer was recognized quite early on. Women were not permitted to enroll in conventional composition classes at the Conservatoire de Paris at the time, but, she did receive private lessons from Anton Reicha, the professor of composition there. Years later she would receive a permanent appointment as Professor of Piano at the same institution, a position she held for thirty years. She was the only woman during the 19th century to bear that title. Her piano etudes possess pedagogical value as well as great beauty and character. These works lend themselves quite well to the guitar duo setting. While I have rendered all of FarrencâÂÂs melodies quite faithfully, I have taken liberties with the accompaniments in order to make them more idiomatic to the guitar. Likewise, many of the effects of which the guitar is capable have been brought to bear in ways that deviate from the original intent of the etude. Alternatively, the challenges that some of these etudes were meant to address for the piano student are amplified by this adaptation. For example, etude 5 is intended to enable the piano student to improve the coordination between their left and right hands. It certainly presents a challenge in that regard to the guitar duo!These selections are entirely suitable for guitarists with limited experience, though they could, of course, be beautifully realized by players with a great deal more experience as well.Louise Farrenc était une compositrice, interprète, professeur et auteure française profondément influente. Même si elle deviendra finalement une interprète très recherchée, son potentiel en tant que compositrice est reconnu très tôt. Les femmes n'étaient pas autorisées às'inscrire aux cours de composition conventionnels au Conservatoire de Paris àl'époque, mais elle recevait des cours particuliers d'Anton Reicha, le professeur de composition du Conservatoire de Paris. Des années plus tard, elle recevra un poste permanent de professeur de piano dans la même institution, poste qu'elle occupera pendant trente ans. Elle était la seule femme au XIXe siècle àporter ce titre.Ses études pour piano possèdent une valeur pédagogique ainsi qu'une grande beauté et un grand caractère. Ces à Âuvres se prêtent assez bien au montage en duo de guitares. Même si jâÂÂai rendu assez fidèlement toutes les mélodies de Farrenc, jâÂÂai pris des libertés avec les accompagnements afin de les rendre plus idiomatiques àla guitare. De même, de nombreux effets dont la guitare est capable ont été mis en à Âuvre dâÂÂune manière qui sâÂÂécarte de lâÂÂintention originale de lâÂÂétude. Alternativement, les défis que certaines de ces études étaient censées relever pour l'étudiant en piano sont amplifiés par cette adaptation. Par exemple, l'étude 5 est destinée àpermettre àl'élève de piano d'améliorer la coordination entre ses mains gauche et droite. Cela représente certainement un défi àcet égard pour le duo de guitares !Ces sélections conviennent parfaitement aux guitaristes ayant une expérience limitée, même si elles pourraient bien sûr également être magnifiquement réalisées par des musiciens beaucoup plus expérimentés.
