La Sonatina canonica pour deux guitares opus 196 de Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) fut composée en 1961 pour le légendaire duo de guitares formé par Ida Presti (1924-1967) et Alexandre Lagoya (1929-1999). Ce fut le premier épisode d'une longue collaboration qui eut pour fruits des oeuvres d'une grande valeur. Conçus en forme de canon, les trois mouvements de la Sonatina représentent un hommage voilé à la musique pour clavecin d'inspiration hispanique de Domenico Scarlatti et sont restitués ici dans le texte original, respectant scrupuleusement les nombreux signes d'articulation et indications du compositeur présents dans les manuscrits. / 2 Guitares

Tango Guitar Duets. Par GARDEL CARLOS. Gardel's tangos remain classics, which no performer who aspires to be taken seriously can ignore. For this album Argentinian Tango specialist Diego selected some of Gardel's most popular tangos and arranged them for two guitars. The timbre of this instrument is exceptionally well suited to evoking in sound the musical riches of an impoverished community of immigrants in Argentina's past, as well as to making the fascination and glamour of Gardel's tango music come alive again. Both parts are of medium difficulty, and the melodies repeatedly introduce new elements of tone production and rhythm, training young musicians in technique and ensemble playing. And, last but not least, these duets are an ideal introduction to the profound music of the tango, whose vitality and versatility are not only fun, but which also holds totally new means of expression in store. ? Captivating classics by Carlos Gardel selected and arranged by Argentinian Tango specialist Diego Collatti ? Experience the magnetic charms of the Tango with these intermediate-level arrangements ? Helpful musical notation ensures an authentic performance true to the diverse styles and nuances typical of the Tango/ Recueil / 2 Guitares

Par CAGE JOHN. Bacchanale, John Cage\'s first work to exploit his influential \'prepared piano\' technique, arose from a request for musical accompaniment by dancer Syvilla Fort. Intending to write her a percussion piece, Cage discovered that the theater in which the premiere was to take place was too small to accommodate any instruments beyond the piano already present, and instead adapted the piano into a palette of percussive sounds by placing small foreign objects among the strings. A new arrangement by guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan translates this six-minute work from the prepared piano to an even more novel instrumentation: a duo of prepared guitars, the sound of their vibrating strings transformed by the addition of alligator clips, washers, and slips of paper. This performing score (EP 6784a) includes detailed, illustrated instructions from the arranger on how to prepare the instruments. The original version of Bacchanale is now available for sale in John Cage\'s Prepared Piano Music 1940-47, Vol. 1 (EP 67886a). Along with fellow guitarist Adam Levin, Aaron Larget-Caplan gave the world premiere of this arrangement in December 2018 at Arlington Street Church in Boston. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / 2 Guitares Préparées

Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók composed the series of forty-four violin duos in 1931, prompted by the German violin teacher Erich Doflein. With the exception of numbers 35 and 36, all the pieces are based on original folk melodies, and the majority were collected by the composer himself during his numerous field trips in the Carpathian Basin. The melody for no. 42 was collected by Bartók in Algeria. Universal Edition (Vienna) published the violin duos in 1933 in four volumes, arranged in order of difficulty. The present transcription faithfully follows the original; fingerings are by the editor. / Date parution : 2023-10-20/ Recueil / 2 Guitares
