Clas sical Masterpieces for Fingerstyle Guitar is a rare compilation of carefully selected masterworks from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods arranged for Classical Guitar. While there are many collections which feature lesser-known works for Classical Guitar, we believe none comes close to our complete collection of these most well-known and beloved works created by the greatest composers that ever lived. These great works of the masters from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries have stood the test of time as they continue to be revered to this day. Classical Masterpieces for Fingerstyle Guitar eliminates the need for multiple teaching resources and musical supplements, since many of the greatest pieces ever written are now contained in this one outstanding publication. Each piece has been carefully transcribed and specifically arranged in a classic style perfectly suited for guitar. Extreme care was given in the choice of key signatures and fingering demands of the left-hand, with a careful focus on understanding octave ranges, and placement of page turns in order to make every arrangement extremely playable. The recording that accompanies this book is performed by one of the greatest classical guitarists working in the Miami area today. We are confident that you will be impressed by the performance, but even more so by the exceptional work of the arrangers and editors involved in making this recital collection. It is truly the only curriculum choice for every one of your students today, and for many years to come.

Carc assi was born in Florence, Italy, and first studied the piano, but learned guitar when still a child. He quickly gained a reputation as a virtuoso concert guitarist. He moved to Germany in 1810, gaining almost immediate success. In 1815, he was living in Paris, earning his living as a teacher of both the piano and the guitar. On a concert tour in Germany in 1819, he met his friend Antoine Meissonnier for the first time. Also a famous guitarist, Meissonnier published many of Carcassi's works in his Paris publishing house. For Meissonnier he also arranged a number of popular songs for guitar that were originally written for piano, including works by Théodore Labarre and Loïsa Puget. From 1820 on, Carcassi spent the majority of his time in Paris. In 1823, he performed an extremely successful series of concerts in London that earned him great fame, both as a performing artist and as a teacher. However, in Paris, a long time passed before his talents were truly recognized, partly because of the presence of Ferdinando Carulli. Carcassi was in Germany again during autumn 1824. Afterwards he performed in London, where his reputation now gave him access to more prestigious concert halls. Finally he returned to Paris. For several years, he made concert trips from here to the most important cultural towns of Europe, including London. After a short return to performing in 1836, he quit his concert practice around 1840 and died in Paris in 1853. His most famous works are collected in his 25 Etudes op. 60. In these, he managed to blend technical skills and brilliant romantic music. This is the reason his music is still played by so many classical guitarists today.
