HIS IS THE
FIRST CRITICAL EDITION OF
THESE WORKS AND IT OFFERS
WE HOPE A STANDARD
READING WHICH EXAMINES,
WITH SOLUTIONS, MANY
UNEXPLAINED DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE COMPOSER'S
MANUSCRIPTS, OUR EDITED
MUSIC TEXT, AND PREVIOUS
EDITIONS. 70 years after
Ponce's death in 1948, we
celebrate his life with a
new critical-performing
edition of his 24
Preludios newly prepared
from the original
manuscripts by Stefano
Grondona. We proudly
present a totally new
edition with audio files
of the 24 Preludios para
guitarra. This is the
first critical edition of
the 24 Preludios para
guitarra. The audio files
of all 24 Preludios are
played by Stefano
Grondona and for download
with a code printed in
the book. This edition is
really two editions in
one. Not only is it a
performing edition
meticulously fingered by
Stefano Grondona, but as
well it is also an Urtext
edition of the original
manuscripts. Our
pragmatic critical
apparatus permits the
player simply and clearly
to see also what was in
the original manuscripts,
and what was not. With
this publication it is
now possible to clarify
some long-standing issues
relevant to our aim of
presenting an accurate
final music text; it is
now possible to see where
previous publications of
this repertoire have
varied with the
manuscripts and how we
have treated these
situations in our
edition, and how these
were treated differently
in previous editions. A
comprehensive critical
commentary is included
together with copious
historical and
informative notes about
the selection of the
works and how and why our
edition took its present
form and content. At last
we believe to have an
edition which takes the
form which the composer
intended and new source
material is also
included, such as the
Ramaugé ms for
Prelude no. 6.
