Variations On A Catalan Folksong (Op. 25) were written by John W. Duarte for solo Guitar. They were based on the Spanish folk melody Canco Del Llabre, one of the most popular Catalan folk tunes to have survived to this day.

John W. Duarte (1919-2004) was a British guitarist, composer, and music journalist. Having received a degree in Chemistry, his fascination with the endless possibilities of the Guitar caused him to abandon science in favour of music. Despite having never formally studied music, he is regarded as one of the foremost composers for Guitar of the 20th century.

Composed by Jean Sibelius. Arranged by Nino Atanaskovic. Fennica Gehrman #55011-449-4. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-449-4).

An idiomatic guitar transcription of this Sibelius's solo cello work dating from 1887 when he was 22 years. The work owes much to Bach in terms of its style, although the theme on which the variations are based has a certain Finnish-Nordic flavour. Nino Atanaskovic has done a great favour for all guitarists by arranging this work for his instrument. Now even the guitarists can get a taste of Sibelius.

Pier rot, or Harlequin? (2023) is based on stock characters from the Italian commedia dell’arte tradition. Columbina has a choice of partner – Pierrot, or Harlequin? Or maybe she will select neither of them. In this set of triple variations, Pierrot and Harlequin compete for Columbina's attention and favour. Pierrot is deep, quiet, thoughtful, and loving, but sometimes melancholic. Harlequin is light-hearted, extrovert, and fun to be with, but somewhat shallow and brash. Columbina herself is coquettish, impulsive, and unpredictable. How will the story end between these imperfect characters? The performer gets to select one of three possible endings as the piece nears its conclusion.
Pierrot, or Harlequin? was commissioned by the International Guitar Festival Homenaje 2023. The premiere was given by Giacomo Susani at Barco Teatro, Padova, Italy, on 10th November 2023.

Pierrot, or Harlequin? (2023) est basé sur des personnages de la tradition italienne de la commedia dell’arte. Columbina a le choix entre deux partenaires – Pierrot ou Harlequin? Ou peut-être ne choisira-t-elle aucun des deux. Dans cette série de variations en trio, Pierrot et Harlequin rivalisent pour l'attention et les faveurs de Columbina. Pierrot est profond, calme, réfléchi et aimant, mais parfois mélancolique. Harlequin est enjoué, extraverti, amusant à être avec, mais quelque peu superficiel et effronté. Columbina elle-même est coquette, impulsive et imprévisible. Comment se terminera l'histoire entre ces personnages imparfaits? Le performer a le choix entre trois fins possibles alors que la pièce approche de sa conclusion.
