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.

Francis
Bebey was born in Douala
in July 1929, into a
large family where his
father, a pastor,
struggled to feed his
children. But Francis had
the opportunity to go to
school. Admiring his
elder brother, Marcel
Eyidi Bebey, he educated
himself, distinguished
himself, and eventually
received a scholarship to
go and take his
baccalaureate in
France. We approached
the end of the 1950s when
he arrived in La
Rochelle. More than ever,
in this France where
Africans were looked at
with curiosity,
condescension, or
disdain, Francis relied
on his intellectual
resources. A diligent
worker, he obtained his
Baccalaureate, then moved
to Paris where he started
English studies at the
Sorbonne. One day, he
knew what truly attracted
him: he wanted to do
radio. Francis learned
his craft in France and
in the USA. After
working for a few years
as a reporter, he was
hired in 1961 as an
international civil
servant in the UNESCO
Information
Department. In
parallel, Francis had
always been drawn to
musical creation. His
very serious daytime
activity didnâ??t
prevent him from
frequenting jazz clubs in
the evenings. In Paris,
the Jazz, the trendy
music of that time, but
also rumba and salsa
attracted him. He
collected records and
attended numerous
concerts. With his
accomplice Manu Dibango,
Francis took the stage
and played
music. Francis liked
classical music since his
childhood. He grew up
listening to the cantatas
and oratorios of Bach or
Handel that his father
had sung in the temple.
He became passionate
about the guitar,
impressed by the Spanish
and South American
masters, and decided to
learn to strum the
instrument himself. He
started composing guitar
pieces, blending the
various influences that
flow through him with the
traditional African music
he had carried within
since childhood. His
approach captivated the
director of the American
Cultural Center (then
located in the
Saint-Germain
neighborhood of Paris),
who offered him the
opportunity to perform in
front of an audience.
Francis gave his first
guitar recital there
(1963) in front of a
mesmerized audience. His
first solo album was
released shortly
thereafter. Gradually,
Francis became recognized
as a musician and
composer. Several albums
of the African guitar
ambassador, as described
by the press, were
released. He also wrote
books, to the point that
his artistic career
became challenging to
reconcile with his career
as a civil servant. In
1974, even though he had
become the General
Manager in charge of
music at UNESCO, he took
the bold leap and
resigned from this
prestigious institution
to dedicated himself to
the three activities that
interested him: music,
literature, and
journalism. He
explored the traditional
musical heritage of the
African continent,
notably through the thumb
piano sanza, and the
polyphonic music of the
Central African pygmies,
or singing in his native
language and composing
humoristic songs in
French! Success
followed. Francis Bebey
traveled the world: from
France to Brazil,
Cameroon to Sweden,
Germany to the Carribean,
or Morocco to Japan...
the list of countries
where he was invited to
perform, gives lectures,
or meets readers is very
long. In addition to
public recognition, he
enjoyed the recognition
of his fellow musicians,
such as guitarist John
Williams or Venezuelan
Antonio Lauro, who
invited him to be a part
of the jury for a
classical guitar
competition in
Caracas. His life was
the journey of an African
pioneer, a man rooted in
his cultural heritage and
carrying a message of
sharing and hope for the
world. His originality
continues to vibrate
around the world since
his passing at the end of
May 2001.

Questo
metodo si rivolge a tutti
i mancini che desiderano
imparare a suonare la
chitarra… senza
farsi venire pesanti mal
di testa! In altri
termini, senza solfeggio,
senza teoria musicale,
senza note, senza
pentagramma… Il che
significa che dovrete
giusto saper leggere
semplici diagrammi di
accordi (molto visivi)
per capire cosa fa la
mano destra, mentre le
pennate effettuate dalla
mano sinistra sono
rappresentate da piccole
frecce (molto
giudiziose). Semplice,
vero? Volendosi molto
progressivo, il metodo vi
propone all’inizio
di scoprire i principali
accordi della chitarra.
Vi far poi lavorare sulle
concatenazioni di accordi
e vi insegner poi a
suonarli su dei ritmi
pop,rock e folk…
fino ad essere capaci di
suonare degli
accompagnamenti alla
maniera dei più grandi
successi della chitarra
di ieri e di oggi (The
Rolling Stones, Jimi
Hendrix, AC/DC,
Oasis…).
L’altro vantaggio
di questo metodo risiede
nel disco dati allegato.
Vi troverete in effetti
numerosi file audio e
video che vi permettono
di ottimizzare
l’apprendimento e
tutte le nozioni
didattiche fornite nel
libro. I video (mp4)
presentano tramite
l’immagine tutti
gli esempi così come
devono essere suonati,
mentre le registrazioni
audio (mp3) propongono le
basi musicali per
permettervi di suonare
tali esempi in vere
condizioni
musicali… come se
foste gi un chitarrista
in seno ad un gruppo.

I grandi
cambiamenti sociali del
secolo XIX hanno
determinato nel contesto
chitarristico fasi di
rinascita e declino,
contraddizioni e
sovrapposizioni piuttosto
difficili da condensare
in una piccola antologia,
soprattutto se destinata
a studenti di chitarra di
un livello non troppo
avanzato. La scelta,
quindi, è caduta su
brani che, pur se non
collocabili tra i
capolavori degli autori
proposti, sono in grado
di rappresentare le
evoluzioni delle
concezioni musicali e
dello stile
compositivo-interpretativ
o dell'epoca, tracciando
delle linee guida
generiche (chiarite anche
attraverso la sintesi
testuale contenuta nelle
ultime pagine del libro)
ma utili a orientare
l'allievo
nell'interpretazione del
vasto repertorio
ottocentesco. Lo
studio dei brani, spesso
salottieri e in qualche
caso con tendenza al
virtuosismo, ma sempre
gradevoli e scritti con
eleganza e stile, può
contribuire alla
formazione di un gusto
estetico e di una tecnica
strumentale
particolarmente
finalizzati allo sviluppo
dell'espressività .
Accanto ad autori di
rilievo quali Sor,
Giuliani, Carulli,
Carcassi, Legnani e
Tárrega, nel volume
compaiono autori
cosiddetti â??minori, il
cui lavoro è in egual
modo rappresentativo del
panorama chitarristico
europeo
dell'Ottocento. Sito

Apre
nder las escalas, los
arpegios, los clichés de
los mejores músicos...
es una cosa, pero crear
un solo a la vez
coherente, musical,
interesante, vibrante y
atractivo, respetando el
contexto en el cual se
toca,es otra cosa.
Y ésta es la meta que
nuestro método quiere
hacerle alcanzar. Aquí
no se trata de aprender
las herramientas
melódicas de las que uno
dispone (sobran los
métodos sobre eltema),
sino de la elaboración
en sí de unos hermosos
solos de guitarra.
La metodología que
hemos adoptado es
sencilla, lúdica y
progresiva. El estudiante
encontrará no menos de
14playbackscompletos (de
4, 8 y 12 medidas), con,
para cada uno, 4 solos
diferentes y de
dificultad progresiva (o
sea 56 solos en total).
En realidad se trata
siempre de la misma base
que está desarrollada
melódicamente,rítmicame
nte y técnicamente a lo
largo de la
progresión.
Dicho
de manera más clara, el
primer solo es básico,
al alcance de todos,
mientras que el último
es más complejo.Pero,
que quede claro, el
verdadero solo no es
solamente el último: a
cada etapa corresponde un
verdadero solo digno de
ese nombre.
En el
disco de datos incluido
en el método (audios mp3
y vídeos mp4)encontrará
para los 56 solos
presentados en el
método, la demostración
en vídeo, a velocidad
normal y luego más
lenta, y también los
múltiples playbacks
correspondientes,
enversión ?larga
duración?, para que le
dé tiempo a expresarse
en ellos.
