With Online Audio-As one can easily imagine it would be very hard for a Guitar student to start reading the scores of the traditional choro repertoire most of them with large number of technical difficulties. It would be much better if theycould start with some easier pieces - of intermediate level - in order to be presented to the choro language in a more gradual and appropriate manner.That is the main goal of this book. It has 13 studies (in the 13 morecommonly used keys for the choro Guitar) written in a reduced form and in the principal stylistic choro variants: besides real choros there are polkas maxixes Brazilian tangos and xotis. The more used and characteristicrhythmical figurations are present in each of the studies as the principal. Also aiming at the simplification of execution all studies were composed with only two voices (melody and bass) and with no chords (although harmoniesare quite evident due to the choro melodic particularities). An audio download available online contains all 13 studies.

Classical Guitar Solos - Favorite Sonatinas. In this book, guitarist and music historian David Grimes presents 20 ?small sonatas? or sonatinas, complete with detailed performance notes and bio sketches of each of the contributing composers: Leonhard von Call, Matteo Carcassi, Ferdinando Carulli, Mauro Giuliani, Francesco Molino, and Antonio Nava. While flexible, the early 19th-century sonatina form usually consists of 2 - 4 contrasting movements, here in guitar-friendly keys, making these pieces ideal for performance by intermediate-level students. In all but the most challenging passages, Grimes has intentionally kept fingering to a minimum to allow students to form their own concept of this critical skill. Then, as many bass notes in these pieces are played on open strings, the player must develop a sense of when to selectively damp dissonant tones or observe a rest? exposing and overcoming yet another shortcoming in the education of many guitarists. Most classic guitar teachers are familiar with the easy didactic studies by Carcassi, Carulli and Giuliani; Favorite Sonatinas offers more highly developed, but not yet virtuoso pieces by the same Italian triumvirate? plus three more composers in a similar vein? promoting confident, enjoyable sight-reading by guitarists of all levels.
