Classical Sonatas

It was with the genius of Ludwig van Beethoven that the Classical Era reached its climax. Beethoven whose figure overshadows the whole of 19th century music was born in Bonn Germany in 1770 the son of a court musician.Beethoven wrote masterpieces in each of the musical genres practiced during his time among them are the 32 sonatas for piano. One of his most famous sonatas is No.14 the Moonlight Sonata. This piece works remarkably well on the guitar and utilizes the full range of the instrument.

13 pieces of easy to intermediate standard ideal for lessons and concerts. As well as popular Baroque sonatas by the likes of Vivaldi and de Fesch, there are also some charming, lesser-known compositions by Lanzetti and Zocarini. Also included are Classical sonatas by J. C. F. Bach, Stephen Paxton and Beethoven alongside pieces from the Romantic era including Mendelssohn's Song Without Words Op. 109, Fauré's Sicilienne Op. 79 as well as two little pieces by Goltermann. / Violoncelle Et Piano

Classical Guitar Solos - Favorite Sonatinas. In this book, guitarist and music historian David Grimes presents 20 ?small sonatas? or sonatinas, complete with detailed performance notes and bio sketches of each of the contributing composers: Leonhard von Call, Matteo Carcassi, Ferdinando Carulli, Mauro Giuliani, Francesco Molino, and Antonio Nava. While flexible, the early 19th-century sonatina form usually consists of 2 - 4 contrasting movements, here in guitar-friendly keys, making these pieces ideal for performance by intermediate-level students. In all but the most challenging passages, Grimes has intentionally kept fingering to a minimum to allow students to form their own concept of this critical skill. Then, as many bass notes in these pieces are played on open strings, the player must develop a sense of when to selectively damp dissonant tones or observe a rest? exposing and overcoming yet another shortcoming in the education of many guitarists. Most classic guitar teachers are familiar with the easy didactic studies by Carcassi, Carulli and Giuliani; Favorite Sonatinas offers more highly developed, but not yet virtuoso pieces by the same Italian triumvirate? plus three more composers in a similar vein? promoting confident, enjoyable sight-reading by guitarists of all levels.
