When I think about Brasil, I think about ?Violao? (that's what we call the nylon string guitar in our country). The art of playing ?Violao? looks simple, but it isn't and this book shows how to assimilate and how to understand this art. This makes me feel happy. With talent and clear information, Nelson will help guitar players all around the world to enjoy all the pleasures of this wonderful instrument. Make good use of this excellent musical book!?

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 BOCCHERINI LUIGI. Luigi Boccherini was born in Lucca in Italy, where he became famous at an early age as a virtuoso Cellist. After an invitation to Madrid in 1768, he spent the rest of his life in Spain. It is not surprising then, that his compositions were much influenced by the rhythmic variety and rich colours of Spanish music and this influence is nowhere more pronounced than in the exuberant Grave e Fandango (Introduction And Fandango). The piece was originally written as a piece for String Quartet, and then subsequently arranged for Guitar and String Quartet. This edition features a reduction of the String Quartet part for Harpsichord./ Répertoire / Guitare et Clavecin

Revidierte Neuausgabe von Michael Koch. DIE NEUE GITARRENSCHULE by Heinz Teuchert is one of the most successful methods for classical guitar in German. Since it was first published in 1983, the guitar technique has evolved in many respects so that the need of a revised edition has become more and more evident. Prof. Michael Koch has taken up this mission and now presents the revised method in two volumes: the texts, parts of the playing material, and the appearance of the books have been modernized while preserving Teuchert’s methodical approach and the underlying structure of the method. One of its strengths is the diversity in terms of playing techniques and musical styles – not only solo playing but also fingerpicking styles, flamenco techniques, and song accompaniment are taught. The BOOK+CD+AUDIO ONLINE packs also feature demonstration and play-along recordings of many pieces included in the books. / Niveau : Facile / Méthode / Méthode / Guitare
