See the biography of Michael Karmon on the back cover.WHEN THE SHEEP WON'T COME: A SLEEPLESS NOCTURNE FOR GUITAR was composed for Joseph Hagedorn, winner of the 1990 GFA solo competition, and premiered by him in November 1999. My original idea was to write a serene and moody nocturne in several movements. However, as I began researching and listening to new guitar pieces, I came across Toru Takemitsu's All in Twilight, and it immediately made a profound impression. At the time I found it beautiful, moving, and inspiring, but I also felt I didn't have anything to add to what Takemitsu already did, and that I needed to find a new concept for my piece. So, I decided to view night as a potentially restless time, rather than a serene time, and portray states of mind one might go through during a sleepless night. The names of the movements evoke, at least in my mind, the moods I am to depict, and the piece becomes progressively more convoluted as it goes on. By the end, the music is a surreal and weary shadow of the opening.

Tener buen o do musical es generalmente lo que se requiere para ser o convertirse en un buen guitarrista. Es bien sencillo... todo parte de ello y todo pasa por ello. Pero al igual que los dedos que están en contacto con la guitarra, el o do también tiene que formarse y entrenarse para ser eficiente. Y eso pasa de manera inevitable por unos ejercicios espec ficos, tales como los que le brindamos en nuestro método. Saber reconocer los intervalos entre las notas es la base de la formación auditiva (ear training en inglés). Y por eso hemos dedicado un importante primer cap tulo a su estudio en profundidad. En los cap tulos siguientes, uno podrá abordar ya, pasito a paso, losarpegios y acordes de 3 o 4 sonidos, as como las escalas... herramientas imprescindibles para identificar de o do los solos y los acompañamientos tocados por la guitarra. Cada etapa de su aprendizaje abarca un quiz musical que le permite evaluar sus conocimientos, sus progresos... y también su aptitud a pasar a la etapa siguiente. En el disco MP3 adjunto, uno encontrará las grabaciones audios (formato mp3) que corresponden a los numerosos ejercicios y quiz del método.

Exploit your limitations was the most profound advice ever given by the great jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. TOTAL GILTRAP is a prime example of this. Indeed, Giltrap himself is a living example of an artist who has exploited his limited, right hand pick and little finger technique to its nth degree. In this volume, we explore open tunings, legato technique, two-handed tapping and the harp-like technique of open strings and harmonics. This is all wrapped up in a very English approach to melody and invention. All the techniques and pieces in the book are featured on an accompanying audio. All the examples are recorded at half tempo and full tempo, making it a very easy to follow guide. TOTAL GILTRAP is a snapshot of ideas ready to be exploited and developed by the willing and imaginative student of the modern day acoustic guitar. Includes access to online audio.

I am delighted to include in this series â?? so far almost totally made up of pieces written for me â?? this piece for guitar and piano composed by Giovanni Scapecchi and dedicated to the duo made up of my former student Raffaello Ravasio, who edited the fingering of the guitar part, and of Samuele Amidei. I am also particularly delighted because this piece was commissioned by the Duo Ravasio-Amidei as part of their full project in homage to Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco on the fiftieth anniversary of his death. In this composition, there are many references to the figure and work of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. First of all the duo guitar-piano is the same as in Fantasia Op. 145 by Castelnuovo-Tedesco (written for Andrés Segovia and Paquita Madrigueira), the most famous piece of the twentieth century composed for this formation. The piece by Giovanni Scapecchi, in the form of a Suite of dances, refers explicitly to the one by the famous dedicatee by means of some references which appear in the Sarabanda and in the Giga. The Crete mentioned in the title are, of course, the famous Senese clays which, with their colours and shapes, make up a remarkable part of the Tuscan landscape. Furthermore, profound meanings are attributed by Giovanni Scapecchi to the earth which makes up the clays (like Castelnuovo-Tedesco, he is a native of Tuscany, where he still lives). The Composer recalls first of all that the book of Genesis tells us that the first man was taken from the earth (there is therefore this primordial connection between man and earth). Moreover, the historic man, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, honoured here, maintained a deep relationship with his homeland â?? despite the dramatic separation due to the enforced exile to the USA, which took place in 1939 following the racial laws. Stylistically, I then found a further link between this piece and its dedicatee â?? who was influenced in his early works by musical Impressionism â?? in a certain French atmosphere running through the Suite.(Piero Bonaguri).

Many polyrhythms and polymeters simultaneous combinations of more than one rhythmic pattern exist in todays music, with some being so common they could be referred to as rhythm licks. This book presents a unique and comprehensive approach to polymetric applications of various rhythms over common chord progressions and song forms in 3/4 and 4/4, written primarily for instruments with chordal capabilities. Non-chordal instrumentalists interested in rhythmic development and contemporary phrasing may also benefit. Polymetric rhythms will force a variety of harmonic anticipations and delays which can have a profound and beneficial effect on harmonic, melodic, and improvisational phrasing. In addition, the focused attention and expanded awareness needed to master these exercises can also help in your sensitivity and response to the surrounding environment and your interactions with other musicians and audience.

Mauro Bortolotti: Lâ??impervia, pervia viaMauro Cardi: ImpromptuFabrizio Casti: Lâ??Anima VisionariaAgostino Di Scipio: EktoposFausto Razzi: InvenzioneItalo Vescovo: Come la quiete notturnaPerché un libro sulla musica contemporanea?Spesso capita di sentire allievi che, come ?brano contemporaneo?, suonano La Catedral di Barrios, qualche Estudio Sencillo di Brouwer o un Preludio di Villa-Lobos. Il valore di questi brani è indiscutibile, ma è altrettanto certo che essi appartengono, pur con le dovute differenze, a un linguaggio tradizionale. È convinzione del curatore che non possa più bastare il semplice dato anagrafico («In fondo Barrios è nato nel ?900...» è la tipica motivazione di quegli allievi) per definire contemporaneo un brano: è necessario possedere strumenti adatti a orientarsi nei linguaggi che gli autori elaborano ogni giorno.Il rapporto di diffidente estraneità instaurato da Andrés Segovia con la nuova musica può oggi evolversi in qualcosa di diverso: a distanza di 50 anni i chitarristi sono in grado di porsi in un atteggiamento di maggior ricettività e, non più costretti a procurarsi una ?visibilità? nel mondo musicale, possono rivolgersi più serenamente alla musica dei loro contemporanei.â??Musica Incertaâ?? cerca di rendere possibile questo mutamento di prospettiva: Arturo Tallini si è rivolto a Enrico Fubini, al musicologo Filippo Poletti e a sei compositori italiani, progettando il presente volume che è così costituito:? uno scritto di Enrico Fubini sul rapporto fra linguaggio e storici della musica;? un ponderoso scritto di Filippo Poletti che sviscera in profondità tutti gli aspetti grafici della simbologia usata negli ultimi decenni, non solo fornendo spiegazioni sull?esecuzione, ma aiutandoci a scorgere il significato del rapporto fra segno e oggetto musicale, partendo dall?impostazione del filosofo e linguista nordamericano Charles Pierce;? sei brani scritti per questa occasione da Mauro Bortolotti, Mauro Cardi, Fabrizio Casti, Agostino Di Scipio, Fausto Razzi e Italo Vescovo, tra i più rappresentativi compositori italiani dei nostri anni.Ogni brano è corredato da note dell?autore, note del curatore, indicazioni tecniche e diteggiature che aiutano l?esecutore nello studio.
