George Harrison ist der perfekte Lead-Gitarrist: Mit stilistischer Vielfalt, einfühlsamem Anschlag und einem untrüglichen Gespür für markante Sounds setzt er zahlreichen Beatles-Kompositionen die Krone auf. Anbei erweckt er einige der berühmtesten E-GItarren aller Zeiten zum Leben, darunter die Rocky-Strat, die Rosewood-Tele und seine Old Black Gretsch. Doch Harrison ist nicht der stille junge Mann, zu dem ihn die Presse macht. Sein Wesen ist facettenreiche, geheimnisvoll, eigenbrötlerisch und zuweilen von Dunkelheit umgeben. In Momenten der Muse schreibt er Welthits wie Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps und Herre Comes The Sun. Als Musiker findet er schließlich seinen eigenen unverkennbaren Ton und macht Frieden mit den Beatles - als Mensch sucht er diesen zeitlebens. Die GUITAR HEROES sind eine Buchserie des beliebten Monatsmagazins guitar, dessen Fachautoren kompetent und aus nächster Nähe berichten. Jedes einzelne Taschenbuch bietet Gitarristen und Fans alle Details, die sie über ihr jeweiliges Idol wissen müssen: sein Instrumentarium im Laufe der Jahre, eine Analyse seines Spielstils und Beiträge prominenter Musikerkollegen und Zeitzeugen.

The title of this work is taken from a poem of the same name by the Polish poet, Wislawa Szymborska (winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996) and considers the importance of revolutions, tyrannicides and political conspiracies in relation to that of skimming shadows, fluttering white butterflies and windblown clouds. No Title Required has two movements. The first is fast and virtuosic, the second, lyrical and colouristic. Both have the same formal pattern - a series of variations where one aspect of each section provides the ‘theme’ for the following variation. Whereas the first movement juxtaposes blocks of material to create a disjunct, segmentedstructure, the second weaves lines together to create a single, flexible texture (disrupted towards the end by ‘reminiscences’ of the work’s opening). No Title Required was commissioned by Double Image (to whom the work is dedicated) and has received several performances worldwide. The work was chosen to represent Australia in the ISCM World Music Days, Hong Kong in.
