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. (Piero
Bonaguri).

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. (Piero
Bonaguri)

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. (Piero

Boulevar
d Pey Arnaud is a solo
composition for guitar
inspired by the place
where my house is
located, in a protected
environment, surrounded
by pine forests and
crossed by a small stream
called lâeau bourde.
For four decades, this
enchanting setting has
nourished my inspiration,
offering me a refuge of
serenity. Every note of
this short stroll is
imbued with the happy
memories of my children
growing up on this
boulevard, their laughter
and games echoing among
the trees. Boulevard Pey
Arnaud is an ode to
nature, family and the
moments of peace found in
this neighborhood.
