Sona
ta No. 6 Kharkiv for
guitar solo was composed
in 2021, in the end of
the COVID-19 lockdown. At
that time my family and I
were staying in our home
city of Kharkiv (also
known as Kharkov),
Ukraine for almost two
years. We considered that
pandemic period as a
disaster, but later have
realized that it actually
was a rather happy time,
because a war came to our
homeland just a few
months later. Since 2022
a considerable fraction
of the 1.5 millions of
Kharkiv citizens have
left their homes, those
who stayed have been
living under ceaseless
missile attacks, and many
have been killed. I would
like to dedicate this
Sonata to the frontier
city of Kharkiv and, most
of all, to its citizens
suffering from the
war. Yet, the music of
the Sonata does not have
any specific program.
Here I will give a brief
overview of its main
composition elements to
facilitate future
interpretations. The
first and fourth
movements of this Sonata
are based on the
interplay between the
twelve-tone principle and
the G-major tonal center,
natural for the guitar.
Namely, the first
movement is based on the
interaction of the
G-major triad Gâ??Bâ??D
of the open guitar
strings 2â??3â??4,
ascending motif 1
involving the notes
Eâ??F#â??Aâ??C#
(originally on the first
string), and descending
motif 2 using the notes
E-â??Câ??Bbâ??A-
(originally, on the bass
string 6). These elements
supplement each other to
almost make up twelve
tones (apart from the
missing F), and the
motifs alternate with
ostinato fragments where
each note in the G major
triad is step-by-step
moved by a semitone up or
down. The second
movement is a Scherzo
involving numerous
semitones in accented
chords and fast passages,
as well as chromatic
melodic motion in the
bass voice. It is almost
atonal in some fragments,
but has an overall tonal
center of A-minor. The
third movement is a
meditative Adagio based
on a theme composed
within hexatonic scale
Dâ??Eâ??Fâ??G#â??Aâ?
?B and ostinato chords
involving open bass
strings Eâ??Aâ??D and
semitone
Bâ??C. Finally, the
fourth movement is based
on the complete
twelve-tone theme
consisting of two phrases
including motifs 1 and 2
from the first movement:
Gâ??Fâ??Bbâ??Abâ??Câ
??Ebâ??D and
Eâ??Bâ??C#â??Aâ??F#.
This theme is presented
in its prime and
retrograde forms. There
are dialogues between the
first string, basses and
open middle strings,
similar to the first
movement. In the
culmination, the
twelve-tone theme is
performed using the
parallel motion of the
standard guitar G-major
chord with open middle
strings across twelve
positions. The Sonata
was premiered and
recorded (CD Naxos No.
8.574630) by the
prominent Ukrainian
guitarist Marko Topchii
who has also lived and
studied in Kharkiv. I am
extremely grateful to him
for the brilliant
performance of this
piece. I am greatly
indebted to Productions
dâ??Oz for keeping my
original notations in
places where these do not
conform to the
publisherâ??s style.

Ada
(Island) is a captivating
composition that was
originally written in
2011 for the Turkish
lute. This piece draws
its inspiration from the
tranquil and picturesque
atmosphere of
Büyükada,
one of the charming
islands in the Sea of
Marmara.
Büyükada,
with its serene
landscapes, historical
architecture, and
tranquil shores, serves
as a perfect muse for the
evocative melodies and
intricate harmonies that
characterize Ada
(Island).
Ada
(Island) was later
arranged for classical
guitar. This adaptation
allows the composition to
reach a broader audience
while retaining its
original charm and depth.
The classical guitar
arrangement highlights
the versatility of the
piece, maintaining its
delicate nuances and
evocative melodies, while
offering a new
perspective through the
guitar's distinctive
tonal
qualities.
Whether
performed on the Turkish
lute or the classical
guitar, Ada (Island)
remains a poignant
tribute to the enchanting
beauty of
Büyükada,
capturing the island's
essence and transporting
listeners to its serene
shores.

In
this ambitious series,
Bryan Johanson and Jesse
McCann seek to address
this missing element in
the study of classical
guitar. In light of the
sheer volume of guitar
music written over the
centuries, not to men-
tion early works by the
guitar’s
plucked-string relatives,
the authors’ choices
were by necessity limited
to a select group of
standards. These might be
considered among the most
popular works in the
guitar canon, admired
over the years by
performers, students, and
audiences alike for their
beauty, musical
expression, and idiomatic
sonority. There are, of
course, other pieces that
could have been included.
But by choosing works
that give a broad survey
of styles across musical
periods (Renaissance,
Baroque, Classical,
Romantic, and early 20th
century) written by some
of the guitar’s most
important composers, the
authors present a com-
prehensive cross-section
of the essential
repertoire for the
instrument. - William

After
being some time away from
classical composition I
decided to challenge
myself and write one
short guitar piece daily.
I did it for a month and
ended up with around 20
Sketches. The original
idea was to make short
pieces for children.
Some turned out to be
too difficult for
students, so they might
become longer pieces in
the future. Some others I
just didn't like that
much. In the end I
selected the 10 Sketches
that I liked the most.
These 10 pieces
are intended for
intermediate level
players and each of them
focuses on a technical or
musical aspect.

The
Suite for guitar aims to
blend tradition and
modernity through the use
of a language with a
neobaroque
imprint. The canonical
utilization of the fixed
dances of the Suite
(Allemande, Courante,
Sarabande and Gigue
preceded by an
introductory Prelude)
serves as a clear
reference to the
corresponding Baroque
model characterized by
alternation between slow
and fast movements.
The style, on the
other hand, appears to be
moderately dissonant, yet
still focused on a
well-defined tonal
framework. A personal use
of both dissonances and
modulations is intended
to enhance the auditory
experience while
maintaining a strong
connection to a specific
tonal center (E), which
serves as a stable
reference point in the
organization of the
musical
material.

This
cycle, containing 20
studies for solo guitar
is inspired from Bela
Bartok’s didactical
works, such as For
Children or Mikrokosmos.
The common element found
in his works and mine are
the themes coming from
the children folk music
which are very rich in
Hungary and moreover in
Romania. All the
developed songs I used in
this volume are a little
part of the ritualic
music of the Romanian
children. These little
studies are polyphonic
and harmonic exercises
which are very useful for
the young guitarists.
The modal structures
give to this score a
unique flavor and invite
the musicians to discover
an astonishing music
tradition.

Dedi
cated to world renowned
guitarist David Russell,
Peated Waltzes is a
three-movement piece that
pays homage to the peated
whiskies of Islay, the
southernmost island of
the Inner Hebrides of
Scotland. The opening
movement, Earthy Smoke,
Sea Salt and Iodine,
attempts to portray the
distinctive character of
the single malts of that
region. Based on the
Gaelic folk song The
Praise of Islay (Moladh
na Landaidh), the second
movement’s title
comes from one the
song’s last verses,
O, may long their wild
notes flow. The third
movement’s theme was
extracted from the
letters of Laphroaig, one
of the most iconic Scotch
whiskies, whose
name’s meaning
inspired the title, By
the Broad Bay. In the
second part, the
traditional Celtic
melody, An Islay Pipe
Reel, is quoted. At the
end, themes of the
previous movements are
recalled and intertwined,
as if trying to emulate
the long and lingering
finish of an Islay
dram.
It’
s a beautiful journey
through the tones that I
offer you with these two
pieces.
The first
The Stations of the Cross
express the 14 scenes of
the Passion of Christ
through a simple arpeggio
and 14 different tones.
The 12 minor keys which
begin the work in a
perfectly natural way (D,
A, E, B, F#, C#, G#, D#,
Bb, F, C, G) are followed
by two major keys (D and
the) who come conclude
the work as a triumphant
deliverance.
The
second piece Labyrinthe
uses the same principle,
but in a different way.
With another arpeggio and
major and minor tones
which follow one another
alternating in a natural
way through a slight
mutation, leading us
astray in the meanders of
the tones, to finally
find ourselves in the
original tone, we thus
delivering from this
great labyrinth (do, lam,
re, sim, mi, do#m, fa#,
re#m, ab, fam and
do).
I hope that
the discoverers of these
pieces will have the same
pleasure that I had in
composing them for
them.
