Par SETH F.ORTSAO JOSEL. This book, co-written by guitarist Seth F. Josel and composer Ming Tsao, provides a comprehensive survey of contemporary performance techniques on the classical guitar. It was inspired by a new generation of solo guitarists whose extraordinary technical and virtuosic skills have paved the way for a new understanding of instrumental performance practice. Detailed explanations are given for the instrument's technical potential within the historical context of traditional guitar technique. Composers will be interested in the in-depth analyses of contemporary guitar literature, featuring many examples of chamber and ensemble music. Four main chapters describe: - Techniques of the right and left hands - Special harmonies and percussive techniques - The main instruments of the guitar family and their potential - Possible ways of notating contemporary guitar literature The examples discussed in the book are complemented by an enclosed CD and detailed charts on multiphonics, bitones, and percussion techniques.

A regular guest at Europe's major contemporary music festivals, he has worked with composers of the stature of Mauricio Kagel, Helmut Lachenmann, Tristan Murail and James Tenney and has played with such leading orchestras and ensembles as the New York Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Berlin Staatskapelle.

Par VERITE ALAIN. Pour savoir ce qu'est de vouloir approcher au plus près le swing du jazz ou le balanço de la musique populaire brésilienne avec, pour seul outil, la sémantique musicale, j'adresse mes compliments à Alain Vérité pour le remarquable travail qu'il vient de réaliser sur ces huit thèmes tout en syncopes, si joliment traités pour la guitare. J'ajoute que le niveau des pièces, abordable, est une chance pour ceux des apprentis guitaristes qui, comme leurs professeurs, auront à coeur de ne pas se cantonner au seul répertoire traditionnel. Pour autant, l'exigence requise ici sera la même que pour l'étude d'oeuvres dites classiques. Et donc les progrès également au rendez-vous. Roland Dyens Du swing (beaucoup), de vraies mélodies, des harmonies inspirées par la pratique assidue des 'standards', une diversité de tempos et d'ambiances, et au passage des suggestions pour traduire dans les 'gestes' certains des aspects propres à 'l'esprit' du Jazz : c'est ce qu'a voulu proposer l'auteur avec ces 'pièces jazz'... conçues tout exprès pour la guitare. Elles seront l'occasion, notamment pour les musiciens de formation classique, de jouer un style peu représenté de cette façon (guitare seule)... alors que le Jazz irrigue presque tous les courants musicaux nés aux 20e et 21e siècles. Bon swing ! A. Vérité / Niveau : 2ème Cycle / classique / Recueil / Guitare
