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.

As aspiring
fingerpicking guitarists
started expanding their
horizons from folk,
blues, and ragtime in the
1970s, it was only
logical to look towards
early jazz tunes as a
vast source for new
possibilities. For one
thing, they could follow
the same evolutionary
path from ragtime to jazz
that had been taken by
pianists such as Jelly
Roll Morton and Harlem
stride players like James
P. Johnson and Fats
Waller. These musicians
all composed in a variety
of styles, but their most
ambitious piano solos
expanded on the classic
ragtime format developed
by the likes of Scott
Joplin, James Scott, and
Joseph Lamb, using
several strains that
usually changed keys at
least once. Morton, the
self-proclaimed inventor
of jazz, would record
versions of tunes like
King Porter
Stomp and The
Original Jelly Roll
Blues that are
similar to straight
ragtime performances, and
others where there is
lots of room left for
embellishment and jazz
improvisation.
The present
collection is a bonanza
for guitarists who want
to tackle advanced
arrangements along the
lines of ragtime but
featuring jazz age
harmonies from the
playing of Jelly Roll
Morton, Louis Armstrong,
Bix Beiderbecke, WC
Handy, the Original
Dixieland Jazz Band and
other early jazz legends.
The 32 arrangements
included are by a wide
assortment of guitarists
including Ernie Hawkins,
Pat Donohue, Lasse
Johansson, Duck Baker,
Ton Van Bergeyk, Sandy
Shalk, Steve McWilliam,
and Dorian Henry.
