Par DOWLAND JOHN. John Dowland was unsurpassed in his day as a lute virtuoso, and the composer of 88 lute songs. Since the early twentieth century, Dowland's excellence as a songwriter has been well established; many of his compositions for lute- long shrouded in obscurity have become well known. This collection of 45 songs includes all the works in his third and fourth collection. Transcribed for voice and Guitar by David Nadal including Dowland's original lute tablature./ Répertoire / Voix et Guitare

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

Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741) is considered one of the most prolific composers in all of classical music. During his lifetime he composed more than 500 concertos of which approximately 350 of them were for violin. Four works by Vivaldi were known to have been composed for solo lute including this Concerto in D Major F.XII n.15 in three movements: Allegro giusto Largo and Allegro. In this edition Victor Van Puijenbroeck has created a piano reduction of the orchestral score and also has adapted the lute part to be played on guitar. Included are parts for both lute (the part has been adapted from lute tablature to modern notation) and guitar(capotasto).
