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 FarrencâÂÂs 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 às'inscrire aux cours de composition conventionnels au Conservatoire de Paris àl'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 àporter ce titre.Ses études pour piano possèdent une valeur pédagogique ainsi qu'une grande beauté et un grand caractère. Ces à Âuvres se prêtent assez bien au montage en duo de guitares. Même si jâÂÂai rendu assez fidèlement toutes les mélodies de Farrenc, jâÂÂai pris des libertés avec les accompagnements afin de les rendre plus idiomatiques àla guitare. De même, de nombreux effets dont la guitare est capable ont été mis en à Âuvre dâÂÂune manière qui sâÂÂécarte de lâÂÂintention originale de lâÂÂétude. 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 àpermettre àl'élève de piano d'améliorer la coordination entre ses mains gauche et droite. Cela représente certainement un défi àcet 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.

The editors of the New Karl Scheit Guitar Edition, guitarists all, have unearthed a rare gem in Marella's Sonata. Having made his mark as an accomplished violinist in the 18th century scene of Paris and Dublin, Marella relocated to London to continue his career, becoming also a teacher of guitar and composer of study volumes for that instrument. The Sonata in La Maggiore is taken from a second volume of pieces dating from 1762, and consists of three movements - Andantino, Largo, and Menuetto a theme and five variations). For intermediate to advanced performers.

The Cimarosa Sonatas represent a chest of melodic ideas in which the Neapolitan universe of contrasts takes shape, where freshness sometimes alternates tender melancholy and heartfelt sadness that have always been the counterpart in the culture of that city. Domenico Cimarosa was one of the most prominent opera composers of the late 18th century. He is a transitional figure between the generation of classical operas of the second half of the 18th century (e.g., Gluck and Mozart), and the later generation of early 19th century Italian composers such as Rossini and Donizetti. The work of Jorge MartÃnez Zárate as a composer and transcriber is vast, he has written original works for one and two guitars and has made more than a thousand transcriptions, a large number of them have been published in Argentina and also in the United States, France and Italy.
