â??I already wrote the Concerto for Guitar, Tympani and Strings for the outstanding Polish guitarist Lukasz Kuropaczewski. The 'Triptych' for guitar solo is my second work for this interpreter. The individual titles of the 'Triptych' movements â?? Fantasia, Aria and Impromptu furioso â?? refer to the characters of the individual movements. I completed 'Triptych' for guitar solo in December 2014. The piece is permeated by double contrasts: in terms of harmony, the guitar's own mood and sound world are contrasted with my harmonic thinking. In terms of technique, on the other hand, performance gestures of the Flamenco tradition are contrasted with those of the practice of classical guitar playing. The dialogue between different harmonic and historical levels can thus be discovered through a complex, clearly demarcated discourse. The performance duration of the work is about 15 minutes.â? (Krzysztof Meyer).

In this book, guitarist and music historian David Grimes presents 20 â??small sonatasâ? 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 restâ?? 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 triumvirateâ?? plus three more composers in a similar veinâ?? promoting confident, enjoyable sight-reading by guitarists of all levels. .

Through Green Glass is made up of four contrasting movements osasta (Allegro intenso-Pesante-Sostenuto-Energico), which are played attacca. The sharp cuts at the movement divider transfer the listener suddenly to a new atmosphere and sound texture. Only the final movement, Energico, grows organically into its own being, directly from the tranquil Sostenuto movement. Reoccuring rhythm ostinato 13/8 (8/8 + 5/8) is embedded in the genes of all movements. After the climax of the finale, a kind of synthesis is apparent: the heavy chords of Pesante movement make a reappearance; the final bars of the work are indeed a citation from the beginning of the work. Though the guitar is not Mikko Heinio's own instrument, this work was born with a guitar on the composer's lap. This lends to the texture being idiomatic, very natural to the guitar, not letting the performer get off easy, though. The fast changes in texture, multiple playing techniques and snappy rhythmic drive with fast arpeggios call for iron-handed guitarist. The title of the work was given after the work was finished. In retrospect the composer says of the title: [the mental image is] green like the nature, fragile and clear as glass, as light filtered by certain frequences of chromium oxide.

The Temple - Igor Stravinsky in memoriam is a work of wide musical contrasts and varying atmospheres. It explores the tonal range of the guitar superbly, and makes much use of the pizzicato or etouffe effext. It can be preceded by Estampes, another solo guitar work by Kai Nieminen, thereby giving a musically satisfying coupling.

Kai Nieminen's Le Tombeau d'Albert Roussel (2020) for guitar utilises themes and harmonies from Roussel's ballet-pantomime Le Festin de l'Araignee (The Spider's Feast) op.17 written in 1912. Roussel's work depicts insect life in a garden alluding to human behaviour in a similar way to George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm. Nieminen's Le Tombeau d'Albert Roussel integrates themes from Roussel's Le Festin de l'Araignee with original material which together create a satisfying whole full of imagery, contrasts and colour.

Preface I Programme Note TENEBRAE was commissioned by the Turku (Abo) Music Festival and composed for Finnish guitarist Timo Korhonen, whom I had known and admired for a long time. Timo gave a brillant premiere of TENEBRAE in Turku on August 13, 1991 and has played it several times since then. The title is Latin, and means darkness or gloom, but it also refers to the Roman Catholic matins and lauds services in Holy Week. These are held as dusk falls, and the idea is that the sixteen candles that are burning at the beginning of the service are gradually extinguished until, after sixteenprayers, the church is in darkness. The same development is carried through inTENEBRAE by musical means, so that we have not yet had to resort to acandlelit setting - although it is by no means out of the question. The piece makes extensive use of the guitar's properties for revealing quiet, intimate feelings, although naturally in a work of this scope there is contrasting material included. Jouni Kaipainen, 1993.

Humorous and lively rhythmic music, with contrasting warm romantic sounds and melodies. The piece is not in a traditional classical sonata form - it approaching more the form of a rondo. Idiomatic written for the instrument.

Kai Nieminen's Northern Spells for solo guitar is a unique combination of Northern mystique, nature and age-old rituals. The mood of the opening Invocation and Spell is shrouded in mystery dotted with moments of brightness, and chant-like rhythmic passages. As its name suggests, the second movement, Atmosfera, is atmospheric and airy, reiterating a melody that creates an image of something ancient and distant. The recurring pentatonic figures in the closing Charm conjure forth a rhythmic and at times even lithe conclusion. Strong contrasts are one of the hallmarks of Nieminen's music, and this work is no exception. The guitarist must have a consummate ability to extract specific tones and effects from his or her instrument in order to bring out the required nuances and sometimes even ritualistic moods. One special feature of the work is the damped sound made in the bass by gently pressing the string with the left-hand finger near the nut. This produces a muffled, mystic, drum-like sound that has to be rounded, altogether resonant and ear-catching. Throughout all the movements and moods of this work, the player has to choose the timbres very carefully. The performance must be as imposing and multidimensional as the arctic nature that allows Northern spells to reawaken in the present-day world.
