Drawing from the same tradition of Concert etudes as Brouwer, Diego-Pujol and Villa-Lobos - and perhaps even Sor, Bo Hanssons's 5 etudes are a fine example a compositions that blend both musical perfection and technical ambitions. 5 beautiful etudes meant for performances both on and off the concert stage .

Voices about 5 Etudes

The five etudes by Bo Hansson are of the same dignity and tradition as the studies by Fernando Sor. As did his predecessor, he successfully achieved these studies to suggest a complete sense of harmony and structure, completely in accordance with contemporary music. The musical and technical aims are clearly presented to the classical guitarist and offer great opportunity to develop ones own ability. I warmly recommend these beautiful pieces to any guitarist.
Eric Lammers, MSC, Guitarist

Bo Hansson's 5 etudes is a welcome contribution to the guitar repertoire. These well-composed etudes are not only technical etudes in a traditional sense - they are beautiful, idiomatic pieces which incorporates many ingenious and exciting exercises. I am confident they will be regularly played - both for practising and in concerts. Warmly recommended!

These 27 short etudes were composed to provide music suitable for study or the concert stage.  The etudes present a colorful palette of moods and musical textures and incorporate various picking techniques and lush harmonies.  They are extremely useful in developing tone and a lyrical feeling to a guitaristâ??s style.  These etudes will work well as concert preludes or encores or may be played in groups to create more extended performance repertoire.  They are guitaristic and highlight the beauty of the plectrum/flatpick guitar style.  The etudes are written in notation and tablature. Includes access to online audio.

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 Farrenc’s 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 à s'inscrire aux cours de composition conventionnels au Conservatoire de Paris à l'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 à porter ce titre.
Ses études pour piano possèdent une valeur pédagogique ainsi qu'une grande beauté et un grand caractère. Ces œuvres se prêtent assez bien au montage en duo de guitares. Même si j’ai rendu assez fidèlement toutes les mélodies de Farrenc, j’ai pris des libertés avec les accompagnements afin de les rendre plus idiomatiques à la guitare. De même, de nombreux effets dont la guitare est capable ont été mis en œuvre d’une manière qui s’écarte de l’intention originale de l’étude. 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 à permettre à l'élève de piano d'améliorer la coordination entre ses mains gauche et droite. Cela représente certainement un défi à cet 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.
