Emilio Calandin: Piccola sfumatura
Claudia Montero: Lagrimas de Buenos Aires
Marco Reghezza: Como Preludio
Marco Smaili: Preludio
Alessand ro Spazzoli: Preludio in Do maggiore
Roberto Tagliamacco: Prelude sur le nom de Tarrega
Paolo Ugoletti: Prelude sur le nom de Tarrega

Having been invited several times onto the jury of the prestigious Certamen Tarrega in Benicasim, I thought I would involve a few composers in a gift to the father of the modern guitar. So I asked the composers to write a Prelude of the kind that Tarrega wrote and which count among his most significant compositions.
These Preludes for Tarrega, all written between August and November 2015, are very different from each other. The common feature, however, between these and the Preludes by Tarrega is their brevity, an average level of performance difficulty and guaranteed easy listening, even when written in a non-tonal language (like the meditative and melancholy piece by Emilio Calandin and the one by Marco Smaili, with its Impressionistic feel reminding one of Tarrega's most famous pupil, Miguel Llobet).
In some Preludes (the ones by Paolo Ugoletti, Roberto Tagliamacco, Claudia Montero) the reference to Lagrima, one of Tarrega's most famous Preludes, is evident in form, title and some citations. Ugoletti and Tagliamacco work well and expressively on harmony and counterpoint, while the Argentinian Claudia Montero links Tarrega to a heartbreaking Buenos Aires...
In Alessandro Spazzoli there is rather more a connection with Tarrega's sense of melody and deep simplicity, while Marco Reghezza remembers ironically what was brewing in European music when Tarrega was alive: in fact, his Como Preludio goes across the 24 keys - and even a reference to Wagner's Tristan raises its head...
I am delighted for this volume to come out at the time of the fiftieth edition of the Certamen Tarrega.

Gian Paolo Luppi: Alcor
Marco Reghezza: Fuga Dodecatonale
Alessand ro Spazzoli: Sarabanda all'alba
Roberto Tagliamacco: Concerto per la notte di Corelli

In 2013, to celebrate the second centenary of the death of Arcangelo Corelli, I played in an official concert held in his memory in Fusignano, his hometown. Corelli did not write for the guitar, but a few of his compositions were transcribed by some contemporary guitarist and certainly his name has always been associated in the history of music with the theme of the very famous <> (although the origins of this theme go back a long way before Corelli). In the guitar repertoire, well-known cycles of variations on this theme exist. My long history of friendship and working together with important Italian composers has made it possible for me to build a concert program with some new guitar compositions dedicated to Corelli, to which others have been added. They are all together in this anthology, with the exceptions of Corelliana by Davide Anzaghi, Per Arcangelo by Gilberto Cappelli and Corelliana Seconda by Paolo Ugoletti, published separately.
The cover picture, specially created by Norma Lutzemberger for this publication, celebrates this meeting between the modern guitar and Arcangelo Corelli.

Giovanni Podera: Fantasia (In memoriam Joaquín Rodrigo)
Marco Reghezza: Nana Estrellada
Marco Simoni: Junto a Rodrigo
Marco Smaili: Fronda de la tarde (Homenaje a Joaquín Rodrigo)
Paolo Ugoletti: Fuga a 4 voci

Following the successful publication of Homenaje a Rodrigo (2015), containing four pieces by Alessandro Spazzoli – one of which was performed in the presence of the composer’s daughter, Cecilia Rodrigo, during her visit to the International Convention in Alessandria –, here is the second volume. It contains more tributes to Rodrigo written on my input by five well-known Italian and Spanish composers, two of whom are also guitarists and have therefore written the fingering for their own pieces.
Giovanni Podera plunges us into a typically Rodrigo-like atmosphere with his evocative Fantasia, while the following three compositions are full of direct quotations from pieces also for guitar by the great composer from Valencia. Thus, Marco Simoni, in his expressive Junto a Rodrigo – which also provides the title to the volume – plays with themes taken from Junto al Generalife and from Dos piezas caballerescas for a cello ensemble as well as hinting at reminiscences of Tiento antiguo. As for Marco Smaili, in his impressionistic Fronda de la tarde, he evokes quite evidently Zarabanda lejana and Invocación y Danza, but there are more hidden references to Caminos de Santiago and even to the very famous Concierto de Aranjuez. Marco Reghezza builds his heart-breaking Nana estrellada on a sequence of chords used by Rodrigo in the fantasia ¡Que buen caminito!.
On the other hand, there are no direct quotations and echoes of Rodrigo’s way of writing in the Fuga a quattro voci by Paolo Ugoletti. However it was Rodrigo himself who constructed four-part imitative passages for guitar in Pasacalle and in the Ricercare of the Fantasia para un Gentilhombre. The close polyphony of the piece by Ugoletti may be considered as a tribute to this kind of craft shown by Rodrigo who, like Ugoletti, was able to write such dense and idiomatic counterpoint without being a guitar-player.
I am pleased that this volume comes out in the imminence of the 20th anniversary of the disappearance of the illustrious Spanish composer who gave so much to the musicians – and not only to them.

Composed by Adriana Tessier. Paperback (Soft Cover). Ciao Chitarra!!! Classical. Ut Orpheus #DM 56. Published by Ut Orpheus (UT.DM-56).

ISBN 9790215315891. 9 x 12 inches.

Questo secondo volume della collana Ciao Chitarra!!! si articola secondo la stessa struttura del primo sviluppandone gli intenti fondamentali: predisporre lâ??allievo a un atteggiamento attivo, di ricerca e di scoperta nei confronti della chitarra e favorire, insieme allo sviluppo graduale della tecnica e allíampliamento della conoscenza diretta del repertorio, la progressiva evoluzione della sensibilità musicale.
La â??sfidaâ?? è rendere piacevole e interessante non solo il momento in cui si suona ma anche quello in cui si studia, facilitando una vivace e dinamica interazione tra allievo, maestro e libro.
Le musiche scelte, che spaziano dal Rinascimento ai nostri giorni, si presentano in forma di brani solistici, duetti ed esercizi di tecnica che attraverso piccoli cambi di posizione della mano sinistra, note tenute, arpeggi, legati e scale di unâ??ottava, conducono lâ??allievo verso la conoscenza delle prime due posizioni sulla tastiera e lo avvicinano alle tecniche chitarristiche di base.
La diteggiatura della mano destra è stata volutamente omessa al fine di assecondare la spontanea articolazione delle dita che producono direttamente il suono. Tale articolazione, insieme al sincronismo, al coordinamento e alla ricerca della qualità sonora, andrà comunque sviluppata correttamente attraverso gli arpeggi e le piccole scale presenti nelle ultime pagine del volume.
Una grafica particolarmente accurata e le numerose illustrazioni da colorare a piacimento veicolano con incisività informazioni di carattere musicale e storico insieme a indicazioni di carattere pratico - quali lâ??accordatura e il cambio delle corde - spesso trascurate ma invece utili a sviluppare lâ??autonomia dellâ??allievo e a rendere ancora più diretta la sua interazione con la chitarra.

Questo breve testo introduttivo alla pratica del basso continuo per chitarristi non ha certo pretese di esaustività; esso nasce sia dal desiderio di condividere un’esperienza pratica maturata sul campo sia da una preoccupazione pedagogica nei confronti dei giovani studenti di chitarra.
Come scritto nell’Introduzione, una seppur iniziale conoscenza pratica del basso continuo realizzato alla chitarra può aiutare lo studente a sviluppare una maggiore consapevolezza delle possibilità armoniche dello strumento e a colmare quel gap che troppo spesso si ravvisa tra le conoscenze teorico-armoniche acquisite nei corsi teorici e la pratica strumentale.
Gli esempi pratici di realizzazioni fornite in questo testo nascono anche dall’esperienza didattica degli autori maturata dall’insegnamento di questa materia nei conservatori di Bologna e Rovigo.
