Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 1827) was a German composer and pianist and arguably the most famous composer of all time.

(Op. 13) is one of his most celebrated compositions. It has been arranged for the Guitar by the Spanish guitarist pianist and composer Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909). Tárrega is known for revolutionisingclassical Guitar technique and also for transcribing many keyboard works for Guitar from the great classical composers including Beethoven Mendelssohn and Chopin.

Mauro Giuliani is considered today to have been the most important guitarist-composer of the early nineteenth century. Not only was Giuliani the foremost player of his day: his fame reached far beyond the realm of guitar enthusiasts, earning him a place among the musical élite as a complete, versatile musician. Even so, by the end of the nineteenth century he was largely forgotten and his music managed to retain little more than a marginal presence in the repertory of the great guitarists of the early twentieth century. The current revitalization of his work owes its origins to the monumental research begun by Thomas Heck in 1971 and continued by Ruggero Chiesa, Mario Torta, Marco Riboni, and Gerhard Pen. Thanks to the dedication of these scholars, Giuliani's music has progressively returned to its erstwhile prominence in the performing repertory. Giuliani wrote some 230 works, of which 150 carry opus numbers. They consist above all of pieces for solo guitar and a considerable quantity of chamber music for guitar and violin, flute, piano, or voice, as well as three guitar concertos. Based on the texts of the first published editions, the pieces in this collection have been revised only with the addition of fingering (according to the technique documented in Giuliani's method (Studio per la chitarra opus 1) and his Esercizio per la chitarra contenente 24 pezzi della maggiore difficoltà, diversi preludi passaggi ed assolo opus 48, published by Steiner in 1813) and the correction of obvious typographical errors. / 1 Ou 2 Guitare(s)

Internationally renowned classical guitarist David Leisner plays a live concert program with some pieces that are well-known and others that may be new to guitarists. One of the discoveries is the Sonata in b minor byWenzeslaus Matiegka (1773-1830) an unduly neglected composer that Leisner calls 'the Beethoven of the Guitar'. It’s a great addition to the Guitar repertoire. Another discovery is Leisner’s own Nel Mezzo: Sonata whichSoundboard magazine called 'an original and profoundly personal work...powerful angry and moving music'. Now played quite a bit the music of Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) was virtually unknown when Leisner recordedand published some of his music almost 30 years ago. Here two of Mertz’s pieces display the passionate Romanticism of this music. The classics include the sublime Prelude Fugue and Allegro by J. S. Bach two delightful Rags byScott Joplin in Leisner’s arrangements and a dazzling encore of Etude No. 12 by Villa-Lobos.Leisner introduces each piece informally and is interviewed during intermission by Andrew Dickenson. Theinterview covers a number of topics in depth including some of Leisner’s secrets about easing physical tensions while playing the Guitar and his thoughts about the music he’s playing and about composition.

für Anfänger und Wiedereinsteiger-A young man once climbed onto the stage at a Frank Zappa concert to ask how Zappa used his Wah-Wah pedal. The young man was later identified as world-famous guitarist Jimi Hendrix who along with Eric Clapton Larry Carlton and Jimmy Page was soon using the Wah-Wah effect intensively in his own work. Still used by current Guitar heroes such as Slash Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett the pedal produces one of the effects most desired by electric guitarists.With companies like Dunlop Morley and Budda bringing out new pedals every year it is astonishing that a comprehensive guide to playing the Electric Guitar with Wah-Wah has not yet been produced. This is whereNeue Schule Für E-Gitarre Wah Wah comes in. Even without the Wah-Wah sections this book is a sophisticated guide to playing the Electric Guitar. Written by Uwe Naboreits who studied at GIT in Los Angeles before founding his own music school Neue Schule Für E-Gitarre Wah Wah covers all of the basics of using a Wah-Wah and includes a variety of grooves and patterns to learn. A form of notation for the Wah-Wah has also been developed especially for this book clearly showing the dynamics of the sounds produced by the pedal.
