This highly original initiative proved to have historic consequences for the emancipation of the guitar from the rather provincial milieu of aficionados in which it was confined, enabling it to emerge as a major protagonist in its own right on the international music scene.To mark the 25th anniversary of his passing (1987-2012) I asked some composers to write a piece paying tribute to Andrés Segovia. Most responded with enthusiasm and I was able to perform their tributes to Segovia in the concerts honouring the memory of the Maestro I held in 2012 â?? in venues including the Ravenna Festival, the Ateneo in Madrid, the Royal Academy of Music, London, and the Meeting in Rimini, as well as many others. In my turn I dedicate this volume, containing a selection of these pieces, to the memory of the Maestro.The volume is undoubtedly enhanced by the inclusion of two further tributes to Segovia, both produced to accompany concerts I gave in 2012: a poem by Davide Rondoni and a portrait of Segovia by Roberto Casadio.(Piero Bonaguri).

The vast musical production by Darius Milhaud (Marseille, 4 September 1892-Geneva, 22 June 1974) is made up of more than 450 titles, including theatrical works, ballets, stage and choral music, vocal and instrumental compositions, as well as chamber and piano music. The guitar, on the other hand, occupies only a marginal place, with one short composition, written in 1957, entitled Segoviana. The Andalusian guitarist Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) was not only its dedicatee but its protagonist, seeing that the piece was conceived in his image. The present edition, edited by Frédéric Zigante, differs from the first one of 1959 for a layout that makes reading easier and the addition of fingering indications.

Nieminen has an intense awareness of colours, and the possibilities of expressing these on the classical guitar, an instrument on which he is himself a fine performer. This piece is Nieminen's touching tribute to Segovia. It is mostly in quiet and thoughtful mood. Segovia's charming Estudio sin luz is quoted briefly towards the end of the work.

Mompo u wrote the Suite compostelana (1962) in the context of his heightened professional rapport with Andrés Segovia. This is one of the most significant works written for and dedicated to Andrés Segovia; not surprisingly so, given that the Andalusian guitarist's principal characteristics were the evocative beauty and variety of his sound, in perfect accord therefore with the artistic exploration Mompou cultivated throughout his entire life.
