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.

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.
