In
the early 1960s the
Venezuelan guitarist,
Alirio Diaz, suggested to
Duarte that, because the
existing arrangements of
Schubert lieder for voice
and guitar were so poor,
he should make some new
arrangements. 20 songs
were initially arranged,
from 1966 onwards, and
only nine of them were
published by Edizioni
Musicali Bèrben in
1973.
The songs in the
present volume selected
themselves for their
vocal range and only one
song, Der Schatzgräber
D 256, had to be
excluded. I am very
grateful to Amanda Cook
who took on the task of
adding fingerings to most
of these 55-year old
arrangements. There is a
small ossia part in
Freude der Kinderjahre, a
vocal ossia in Tischlied
and also one or two
places where chord
progressions have been
changed for easier
performance.
Transpositions from the
original keys are noted
in the musical text and
dynamics have been
inserted where they can
be corroborated. I have
refrained from including
an English, or any other
language, translation.
Singers and guitarists
will have their own
resources and knowledge
for translating the
meaning of the texts into
their own language, an
essential tool for the
interpretation of these
wonderful
songs.
(Christophe
r Duarte).
