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.

Mustonen's
Sonata for Guitar takes
the listener to the
legendary world of
Finnish myths and epics,
with courageous heroes
guiding the fate of the
northern country and
wizards roaming the
endless woods.The sonata
was named after Jahkin
Iivana. Iivana
(1843-1911) was one of
the last great
representatives of the
traditional runic chant
and a master of the
Finnish national
instrument, the kantele.
Mustonen has succeeded in
imitating the sound of
the Finnish national
instrument for the guitar
in a fascinating way and
created an atmosphere
which makes the magic of
the mythical worlds
almost tangible.

The
fingering on nearly all
'modern' editions of the
Carcassi studies Op. 60,
to a very large extent if
not almost completely,
derives originally from
Llobet, who in his
Rowies, Paris 1914
edition was the very
first to publish RH
fingering for them. Many
modern editors just put
their own names on what
was Llobet's fingering,
thus silently claiming it
as their own. A process
being continued even to
this day. We are pleased
to present a carefully
restored facsimile of
this edition from
Llobet's library with all
his fingering and
emendations intact.

In the decades since the

reduced the musical and

tutor. We have increased
the number of recital
pieces at all levels of

students can spend longer
on a varied repertoire at
their respective level.
We have first of all
selected works from the
Viennese classics for
this purpose but have
also enriched the
repertoire of the tutor
with numerous pieces from
the Renaissance and
Baroque periods. In
volumes I and II of the
tutor we have given
Hungarian folk songs and
children's songs a
significant amount of
space. In the course of
revision, we have
expanded the material of
these two volumes with
simple arrangements of
folk songs, nursery
rhymes and flower songs,
and we have provided very
easy, but valuable
material for instrumental
study in particular for
children aged between 6
and 10. We have also
expanded the chamber
music material to be
found at the end of the
volumes, because we
believe that playing
music together is the
best way to make
instrumental study a
lasting experience for
our students. The parts
are relatively simple,
sothe works provide a
musical experience almost
immediately.

With
its 50 Blues rhythms
inspired by the biggest
hits of the greatest
guitarists of all time
(Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy,
Albert King, Muddy
Waters, Stevie Ray
Vaughan, Robert Cray,
Albert Collins, B.B.
King, T-Bone Walker
etc.), this tutorial will
keep you pleasantly busy
for quite a while. But
there’s more to it
than that! Besides
affording pleasure, these
rhythms allow you to
discover and study the
tools required for a good
Blues accompaniment:
triads, double stops,
single notes, bends,
barre chords, slides,
hammer-ons, pull-offs,
rest strokes, binary and
shuffle rhythms, etc. All
this is included in the
guidelines given to you
in the preliminary
chapter –guidelines
regarding the structure,
the rhythm, as well as
the chords employed. The
DVD attached to the
tutorial offers you the
possibility to mindfully
observe all 50 rhythms
– first at actual
playing speed, then at a
slower speed. This again
gives you the opportunity
to closely follow the
movement of the hands, to
choose the right
fingerings and keep a
steady beat(!) For its
part, the MP3 CD is
composed of as many
backing tracks as there
are rhythms in the
tutorial; the 50 backing
tracks are recorded at
two different tempi: the
intended tempo (actual
playing speed) and the
rehearsal tempo (slower
speed). On the backing
track at actual playing
speed the Guitar is only
present during the first
round, then it
disappears, yielding the
floor to you. The backing
tracks provided here are
of an appropriate length
(about 4 to 5 minutes
each, which sums up to
almost 7h of musical
practice). This means
that you have enough time
at your disposal to
practice under the best
conditions.
