Preludio contains 130 easy attractive performance pieces from six centuries, thus offering the most important pieces for beginners' guitar lessons in one comprehensive volume. The repertoire is ideal for first performances at music schools, as pieces for competitions and examinations or just as a 'treasure trove' for teachers, pupils, students, and guitar lovers.The selected pieces can be played in the second to fourth year of guitar lessons. They are divided chronologically into five chapters and arranged progressively according to their level of difficulty. Each chapter refers to another epoch: Renaissance - Baroque - Classical period - Romanticism and early 20th century - modern, pop and world music. The result is a tune book which can already be used during or immediately after studying any guitar method.Most pieces can be played in the 1st and 2nd positions, without requiring any barré fingering or ties and slurs. The somewhat more difficult pieces that require small and large barré fingering as well as position playing are placed at the end of each chapter.The majority of the pieces are original works, and the editors have refrained from making any radical simplifications. Only a few difficult passages have alternatively been made easier to play such that the level of difficulty within a piece does not vary too much. / Guitare

Par MORENO-TORROBA FEDERICO. Composed in 1965, Moreno-Torroba's three movement Sonatina for solo guitar follows the traditional fast-slow-fast arrangement of movements. The first movement, Allegretto, opens with a joyous melody in a vibrant rhythmic pattern, the second movement embodies quintessential Spanish romanticism and displays the composer's mastery of lyricism, and the third movement, marked Allegro, returns the work to the vivaciousness it had in the opening movement. Though the piece is composed with all the complexity of a mature concert work, the omnipresent influence of Spanish folk music is never lost. / Date parution : 2022-02-26/ Répertoire / Guitare Classique

Par LAURO ANTONIO. Antonio Lauro is one of the most famous composers to come from Venezuela. He has written many works for orchestra, piano, choir, harpsichord, and guitar. He is most well-known for his guitar works, this being his main instrument. In the early 1980s he gave concerts in London and Paris at the request of John Williams and Paco Pena. The pieces represented in these guitar works are for players at a beginner-intermediate level, and in standard notation only. Continuing the 19th Century tradition of other composers of Venezuelan waltzes, Lauro named many of his pieces after people or places. 'El Marabino' is the name given to someone who comes from the city of Maracaibo. 'Angostura' is the original Spanish name of the city where Lauro was born. 'Carora' is the colonial city near Lauro's birthplace. The Venezuelan waltz differs from the European waltz in its rhythm which may alternate between 3/4 and 6/8 time and in its more syncopated style. The melodies are highly sentimental and romantic. / Niveau : Facile à Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Guitare

Par TARREGA FRANCISCO. Tàrrega's works are often very virtuosic guitar-based compositions, and therefore often heard in the concert hall. His musical memory of the Moorish palace in Granada is arguably one of the most beautiful tremolo guitar etudes of romantic literature and is essential in the repertoire of any aspiring guitarist./ Répertoire / Guitare

Par BERG ALBAN. Alban Berg's Sonata Opus 1 for Piano has often been termed as a milestone in early 20th century music. The sonata clearly stems from the Romantic period, but the 'modern' harmonies and complex thematic developments play a part in transcending boundaries and ushering in a new era. The arrangement by Christophe Dejour is as close to the original source as possible./ Répertoire / Guitare

Romanticism in its highest expression takes its figure of model in Robert Schumann's art.
