of Guitar Solos. Par LAURINDO ALMEIDA. Laurindo Almeida (1917-1995) belongs to an elite group of Brazilian/American guitarists, who by composing important works for the guitar reinstated the instrument in his native country as worthy of serious musical study. Stylistically, his compositions synthesize his classical background, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, traditional Brazilian music, and American jazz.

It also reflects the Brazilian school of guitar technique in the 1930's. Written in standard notation only. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Classic - Solos / Recueil / Guitare Classique

Arranger's Note - An edition of music like anything else is a product of its own time. During the 1980s guitarists of my generation were starting to become aware of stylistic concerns in the interpretation ofearly music. There was a movement towards stylistic authenticity an attempt to re-discover the original intentions of early composers and recreate the aesthetic elements that were appropriate to their music. This growing movementprompted me to research the lute music of J.S. Bach and to develop my own edition of it. Frank Koonce. This attractive spiral-bound book contains reference information sources and historical data facsimilies ofthe original manuscript as well as the music of J.S. Bach arranged for classical guitar in modern notation.

In this book Shane discusses and demonstrates all the stylistic elements that set the music of New Orleans apart.

Edizione critica di Frédéric Zigante. The Cinq Préludes by Heitor Villa-Lobos represent the Brazilian composer?s last work for solo guitar and were written in the summer of 1940. They do not constitute a single cycle, but rather a heterogeneous collection, similar in spirit to a collection of pages from an album, with each one developing, in its own individual way, a different stylistic principle. In terms of instrumental technique, Heitor Villa-Lobos places the Préludes in a kind of ideal balance point between the still nineteenth-century writing style of the Suite populaire brésilienne and the daring instrumental experimentation of the Douze Études. In the present edition, the manifold editorial issues concerning Heitor Villa-Lobos? guitar music have been affronted by looking at of all of the sources available today: these efforts have thus enabled us to put together a more reliable text than those before it both in terms of the notes and the fingerings.
