Par WEISS SILVIUS LEOPOLD. Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687 1750) is known to guitarists as the greatest baroque composer for the lute, yet most are only familiar with the earlier portion of Weiss?s prolific output found in the British Library in London. Inspired by a forty-year friendship with the late Douglas Alton Smith - a major figure in the scholarly study of the history of the lute - guitarist, composer, and head of the guitar program at Temple University in Philadelphia, Allen Krantz explored the Weiss manuscripts found in other European cities, particularly the Dresden editions which contain the fifteen sonatas that Weiss produced from the late 1730s to the end of his life. Transcriptions of three of those fifteen late sonatas are featured in this book in modern standard notation along with the original lute tablature as found in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Dresden. While the baroque lute?s tuning makes some works awkward or impossible on the guitar, the three works presented here?Sonatas No. 35 in D minor, No. 42 in A minor and No. 45 in A Major? are in their original keys which happen to be guitar-friendly. The author?s generous and scholarly ?Preface? provides thorough historical and performance notes for the music in this volume. While just three of Weiss?s 109 multi-movement lute sonatas are represented here, the importance of this publication cannot be overstated. It contains some of the greatest music of a masterful lutenist? Weiss once faced-off with J. S. Bach on keyboards in a counterpoint improvisation contest?now made accessible to the modern classical guitarist. / Date parution : 2022-04-09/ Recueil / Guitare Classique

For more than a century guitarists have been irresistibly drawn to Bach’s remarkable cello suites. Here for the first time are the first four in the easiest and most resonant guitar keys. Suites I–IV must be transposed to work on the guitar whereas Suite V is always played in A minor in Bach’s own lute version and the equally demanding Suite VI can only be played in its original key of D.By adding as little as possible these arrangements preserve the integrity of the originals in which melody bass and harmony are woven effortlessly into a single fabric. They also crucially offer the guitarist Bach at a lower level of difficultythan his music for lute or unaccompanied violin.Another unique feature is the inclusion of optional ‘improvised’ divisions – suggestions for the additional ornamentation of passages to reflect typical 18th-century performance practice.This is an essential addition to any guitarist's library with selected movements featured in the 2009 ABRSM guitar syllabus (Grades 5-8).“This publication beats the others hands down; no contest. I can’t see me needing any other edition of these four suites. They are that good. Buy with confidence.”Classical Guitar

Autour de l'année 1550, alors que, parmi les instruments à cordes pincées, le luth et la vihuela règnent en maîtres, la petite guitare se fait une place non négligeable. Instrument soprano, de petite taille donc, elle possède quatre Choeurs de cordes accordés comme les quatre premières cordes de notre guitare mais en général une quarte plus haut. Le répertoire relativement restreint est donc facilement adaptable à l'instrument actuel. Les compositeurs, luthistes ou vihuelistes, nous ont laissé quelques petits livres comportant des danses ou des fantaisies sous forme de tablature comme on le voit sur ce début d'un prélude d'Adrian Le Roy. Le plus prolixe des compositeurs pour cet instrument est, sans conteste, Adrian Le Roy. Luthiste, guitariste, chanteur et éditeur de musique, Le Roy nous propose des danses (Branle, pavane, gaillarde) et des oeuvres au contrepoint raffiné (Fantaisie). Quelques compositeurs augmentent le répertoire de la petite guitare dont ils aiment la puissance et la délicatesse : Simon Gorlier, Grégoire Braysing, Guillaumes Morlaye, Melchior de Barberis, Alonso Mudarra et Miguel de Fuenllana. / Guitare Renaissance
