Beginning. In learning
to play the classical
guitar the left hand
tends to involve most
of the beginner's atten-

concern in the teach-
ing of an instrument is
control of the elements
that produce the
sound. In the classical guitar this is mainly the
task of the right hand.

Christmas Carols for
Flute & Guitar
by Mychal Gendron.
Intermediate. This vol-
ume contains some of
the most popular tradi-
tional carols, arranged
for flute and guitar.
Most of these duet
arrangements allow as
much dialogue and
interplay between the
two instruments as
possible, while maintaining each carol's char-
acter and spirit. While the flute often carries
the melody, the guitar has frequent solo pas-
sages of its own to help break the "melody
with chords" monotony found in many
arrangements of this kind.

intent while arranging

guitar. A great way to enhance any Christmas

piece for classic guitar

five variations based on
an ancient nursery
melody very popular in
Spain and Spanish
America. This musical
theme is based on an
ancient Spanish romance, whose oldest form
appears in a gothic parchment dating from
the 15th century. The most recent or modern
version of this romance is from the last third
of the 19th century.

Los Cuatro Muleros

two popular
Andalusian songs of
exquisite taste that
probably date from the

by the great Spanish poet, Federico Garcöa
Lorca (1898-1936), who loved to play them
on the piano. Here they are arranged for solo

Pregunta and Mapeyé
by Ernesto Cordero.
Intermediate-Advanced.
These two composi-
tions for guitar solo,
Pregunta and Mapeyé,
are both conceived in
the same harmonic
language. They are
based on the continu-
ous variations of a har-
monic sequence
known as "andalusian" or "Phrygian" cadence,
which is frequently used in South-Spanish
folklore. Building on this foundation, the
composer has added a "flamenco" touch to
the music.

Piezas Afro-Antillanas

In two afro-antillan
pieces Nana para una
Negrita and El
Cumbancherito,
Cordero employs
resources and sonori-
ties such as crossed
strings, percussive
blows, quarter-tones,
pizzicati and harmonics. The composer's
intention is to evoke the sonorities of the afro-
antillan culture, particularly that of the islands
of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Santo Domingo.
The works are dedicated to the Uruguayan
guitarist Baltazar Benitez.

As far as it is known,
this trio was never pub-

lifetime. In all letters,
essays and reviews,
there is barely a men-

other than Ferranti him-
self. This is partly explained by the fact that
Ferranti had a wide artistic circle and an unusu-

Granados (1867-
1916), one of Spain's
greatest twentieth-cen-

fine pianist and teacher
who composed numer-
ous works for the
piano, his favorite instrument. His Escenas
Poeticas (Poetic Scenes) and Escenas
Romanticas (Romantic Scenes) are two suites
which show pianistic influences of Grieg,
Schumann and Liszt. These two suites are not
as well known in America, nor are they as
"Spanish sounding" as some of his other
works; however, they still reflect the compos-
er's original compositional style and beautiful
melodic writing.

ten musical tradition

European guitarists.

sical guitar is at its best
with music of smaller
proportions that is per-
sonal, evocative, and
imbued with opportu-
nities for subtle,
expressive nuances in
performance. Like the
piano it must stitch together discrete and fad-
ing notes into continuous melodies support-
ed by a harmonic background. The joining of
Grieg's music and the classical guitar seems to
be a most obvious and fruitful endeavor.

Iznaola -
Kitharologus
by Ricardo Iznaola.
Intermediate. The prem-
ise of Kitharologus is
that "Guitar technique is
made up of a limited
number of procedures
with an unlimited num-
ber of applications.
Therefore, a sound tech-
nical methodology is not
one that tries to cover all
possible forms of a given procedure, but rather
one that identifies and trains the essential mech-
anism which makes the procedure, in all its
forms, possible". Covering all grades from
novice to expert, this book is certain to be
enthusiastically embraced by any classical gui-
tarist wishing to maximize his technique.

Jazz and the
Classical Guitar
by Ken Hatfield.
Intermediate-Advanced.
This book is designed
to familiarize classical
guitarists with the
musical vocabulary of
jazz, and to encourage
jazz guitarists to
explore the beautiful
sonorities and limitless
expressive potential of
the classical guitar. The first half of the book
contains theoretical explanations focused on
harmonic analysis of the types of chord
changes and song forms one routinely
encounters in the jazz repertoire, as it demon-
strates the application of all twelve notes of
the chromatic scale to any chord in any situa-
tion. The second half of the book is com-
prised of Ken Hatfield’s original compositions
and transcriptions of his improvised solos.

Carlos García Tolsa con-

including waltzes,

mazurkas, and a piece for guitar was

“Al fin solos” and a noc-
turne called “Meditación”. Known as a fluent
improviser, the 16 works included in this volume
are apparently all that García Tolsa actually set to
paper, and therefore the only extant summary of
a lifetime of artistic pursuit with the guitar.
