Internationally renowned classical guitarist David Leisner plays a live concert program with some pieces that are well-known and others that may be new to guitarists. One of the discoveries is the Sonata in b minor byWenzeslaus Matiegka (1773-1830) an unduly neglected composer that Leisner calls 'the Beethoven of the Guitar'. It’s a great addition to the Guitar repertoire. Another discovery is Leisner’s own Nel Mezzo: Sonata whichSoundboard magazine called 'an original and profoundly personal work...powerful angry and moving music'. Now played quite a bit the music of Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) was virtually unknown when Leisner recordedand published some of his music almost 30 years ago. Here two of Mertz’s pieces display the passionate Romanticism of this music. The classics include the sublime Prelude Fugue and Allegro by J. S. Bach two delightful Rags byScott Joplin in Leisner’s arrangements and a dazzling encore of Etude No. 12 by Villa-Lobos.Leisner introduces each piece informally and is interviewed during intermission by Andrew Dickenson. Theinterview covers a number of topics in depth including some of Leisner’s secrets about easing physical tensions while playing the Guitar and his thoughts about the music he’s playing and about composition.

Instruction élémentaire large constitue le fondement d'une joie tout au long de la musique et faire de la musique, des études ayant toujours été un élément important de la formation technique et musicale. Cependant, de nombreuses études 'faciles' des époques classique et romantique peuvent difficilement être maîtrisé par les débutants. Le présent recueil 'Klassische Gitarrenetüden' [études de guitare classique] contient de la littérature de base et facilement compréhensible étude pour les premières années de scolarité dans l'ordre progressif, couvre toutes les techniques de la guitare pertinentes et, donc, est un ajout précieux à presque n'importe quelle méthode de guitare. Un sujet de préoccupation particulière a été l'inclusion de la littérature du 20e et du 21e siècle au-delà du répertoire folk et pop. / Guitare
