Such a collection is presented bere exacily as Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco com- posed it: bis is the subdivision of the twenty-eight pieces into four quires, bis is the numbering of the pieces them- selves, whilst the coordination between the literary text (sup: plied both in the original tongue and in an English version chosen by Castelnuovo-Tedesco) and the musical text strictly respects the directions of the composer. 1 have deliberately forgone the instrumental revision as well as the fingering of the musical pieces inasmuch as the exis. tence of an enormous quantity of manuscript version of these musical compositions has engendered such a confusion that it became all the more necessary publishing she original text in its integrity (such versions, which have eluded the control of the Aushor and of his heirs, are — in the majority of instances — devoid of all foundations of authenticity, stan. ding at variance among themselves, of course). A determinate denounciation of the hundreds of interpolations whieh, unfor tunately, are circulated abusively throughout the world, is then within the sims of this edition that carries out above all the exact will of the Author. Any guitarist wishing 10 perform these compositions will then ave of necessity 10 Bring about appropriate changes 10 tome detail, 10 at 10 make these scores technically fr for performance: this trouble will be rewarded by the unique Certainty of having beon able to draw from the original text which, in order 10 be understood, requires 4 caraful evaluation of the adberence and identification relationship Between the musical and the literary texts It should be added that Mario Castelnuovo-Tederco — for very practical purposes — stressed several times the pos- sibility of performing the musical score only, which is often complete and self-standing: but this only in connection with a few of the twenty-eight pieces, asking that appropriate summaries of the literary text should be transcribed on the programmes of all public performances, s0 as $0 create the conditions for the correct appreciation of the music. As a maiter of fact the formal and. stylistic structuring of ‘hese compositions bas been conceived with a concern for the outspoken exigencies of recitation, and every attentive scholar will no doubt notice bow the absence of she latter ofien constitutes an unfilable gap: the ideal performance of this collection therefore can be achieved only through the ‘parte- cipation of a narrator. It is strongly recommended shat, as long as it is feasible, only faithful and complete performances be programmed.
