The first impulse to compose these 3 Little Suites for Guitar came from the desire to offer very young students compositions not framed by the usual features of �??music for children�?? but, rather, meant to introduce into their musical horizon sonorities, rhythms, and expressive modalities not generally experienced in the more �??traditional�?? courses of study.
As the compositions developed, the project underwent some slight modifications, so that in the end one could say that the three suites became progressively more difficult, though remaining, in their deep essence, quite �??simple�??.
I would recommend paying careful attention to the titles of the pieces and to the expressive markings. Although it was not my intention to write �??descriptive�?? music, I have tried to handle these pieces like stage scripts, giving each a specific �??character�??. For this purpose my long experience as a composer of theatre music has been very helpful.
It would give me great satisfaction if guitarists of every age would enjoy performing these suites. I would like teachers to find in them cues for proposing to their pupils further refinements concerning both technique and expression, never forgetting how inexpressible music truly is.
(Carlo de Nonno).

The most important and only autograph source of the French Suites, the Klavierbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach (1722) contains the first three suites in fragments only, and the sixth not at all. This is why the numerous copies which have come down to us, are of special significance. Among the copies of major importance is the manuscript which for a long time had been attributed to Bach, and which comprises the first for suites in full (Deutsche Staastsbibliothek, Berlin) as well as the copy by Gerber (1725-26) and the second volume of the Klavierbüchlein (1925). A few manuscripts originating from the circle of Bach's pupils should also be added to them.The texts of thevarious copies show a lot of deviations. The present edition relies on the first formulation - at least where this can be decided at all - but it gives all the major devations of the copies as variants, either in footnotes or after the movement concerned.

Between 1917 and 1931 Ottorino Respighi harmonized and instrumented twelve works from the 16th- and 17th-century Italian and French lute literature and arranged the pieces into three 4-movement suites, under the title Antiche danze ed arie. He instrumented the first suite for chamber orchestra, the second for symphony orchestra and the third for strings. He also published six of the twelve movements in a piano arrangement. This publication in the Leggiero series is a 5-movement selection from the three suites, in making this free transcrip-tion, Árpád Pejtsik took account of both the orchestral and the piano versions. The level of difficulty of the works corresponds to thegeneral demands of the series. The viola part may also be played on a third violin.

Ottorino Respighi harmonisierte und instrumentierte zwischen 1917-1931 zwölf Werke aus der italienischen und französischen Lautenliteratur des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts. Er ordnete dann die Stücke unter den Namen: Antiche danze ed arie in drei jeweils viersätzige Suiten. Die erste Suite instrumentierte er für Kammerorchester, die zweite für ein Sinfonieorchester und die dritte für Streicher. Von den zwölf Sätzen gab er sechs auch als Klavierfassung heraus. Die in der Leggiero-Serie erscheinende Edition bildet eine fünfsätzige Auswahl aus den drei Suiten. Bei der freien Bearbeitung berücksichtigte Árpád Pejtsik sowohl die orchestrale als auch die Klavierversion. DerSchwierigkeitsgrad der Stücke stimmt mit den allgemeinen Anforderungen der Serie überein. Die Bratschenstimme kann auch von einer dritten Geigenstimme gespielt werden.

Music for three violins and bass formed a small yet distinctive corpus of instrumental music at the Restoration court of Charles II and in the Catholic chapel of James II. Introduced to England by the German violinist Thomas Baltzar, the genre was adopted by John Jenkins, whose ten late fantasia-suites for three violins, bass viol and continuo, together with Gottfried Finger's five sonatas for the same group of instruments, constitute the bulk of this volume. Other representative works include Baltzar's own Suite in C major and Bartholomew Isaack's Ground in A minor, all fascinating progenitors of Purcell's crowning contributions to the repertoire, his Pavan in G minor and 'Three Parts upon a Ground'.
