The ClassicalGuitar is at its best with music of smaller proportions that is personal evocative and imbued with opportunities for subtle expressive nuances in performance and so is eminently suited to MacDowell's music.Thiscollection includes his most famous composition To a Wild Rose as well as ten other beautiful Guitar solos in both standard notation and tablature. An outstanding recording by Aryeh Eller of all of the music isincluded.
