Opus 114 is certainly one of Carulli�??s most important didactic works, so much so that the author himself made a point of writing in the second edition of his famous Method op. 27 (1819): The student, when moving on to the second part, must continue to practise on the easy pieces which are to be found in opus nos. 50, 15, 35, 36, 93, 7 and above all in opus 114. He maintained this indication also in later editions of the Method itself, unlike what he did with other collections of studies which were no longer recommended.
The purpose of op. 114, in particular of the preludes, is clearly explained by the author himself in the preface of op. 265: I have already offered preludes in my opus nos. 71 and 114 to people, but they serve to study and learn to play all sorts of difficult passages, to practise modulating, and learn to improvise on the guitar. Carulli seems to want to provide his students with a large handbook of formulas typical of his musical writing and he does so by making use of the keys which, in his opinion, are most congenial to the guitar. In his Method he points out: Each instrument has its favourite keys: the guitar can be played in all keys, but the best ones are: A major and minor, D major and minor, E major and minor, C, G, F. The others are difficult; [�?�]. However, some of the difficult ones are included but only in the fourth part. Of course, the easiness of a key essentially depends on the possibility of extensive use of the open strings, especially in the low notes, ensuring the accompaniment on the main degrees.
This edition has some unique features. First of all, it is the first complete modern edition of Carulli�??s op. 114; it presents an important critical apparatus in which the Carullian technique is presented and analysed; finally, Carulli's original fingering is indicated in the score (including that of the thumb of the left hand) and the missing one was obtained from the comparison of his other fingerings present in other works. All this allows an easy and complete reading both for those who perform the pieces following the nineteenth-century performance practice with a historical instrument, and for those who play a modern instrument.

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.  

Mo st 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. .

ISBN 9790080122778. A/4 inches. Laszlo Szendrey-Karper.

La szlo Szendrey-Karper (1932-1991) was an internationally renowned guitarist, and the founder of organized guitar teaching in Hungary. He wrote an instructional methodology for the guitar, and composed studies and pieces for students. The eight books of his series Guitar Exercises and Pieces provide a variety of pieces for elementary and intermediate guitar students to play, arranged in order of difficulty. A basic source for Szendrey-Karper was Hungarian folk songs, in addition to which he transcribed for the guitar well known pieces composed for other instruments. Alongside his own pieces and etudes, he selected for the series studies and concert pieces by other composers (including Ferdinando Carulli, Matteo Carcassi, Johann Krieger, Henry Purcell, and Laszlo Borsody).
