20 Easy Pieces from 3 CenturiesInstrument : 2 guitarsNombre de Pages : 72The duos compiled in this edition will give guitarists the opportunity to pay attention to the dialogue, i.e. to practice ensemble playing with a keen ear. Duet playing is one of the most valuable and most important parts of the education, training and development of a musician. This collection contains a number of less known classical and Romantic pieces which are worth discovering. On the other hand, it also contains 'evergreens' such as Por una Cabeza by the king of tango, Carlos Gardel - which can be heard in no less than 15 films, including Schindler's List (Itzhak Perlman played the violin) and Scent of a Woman (Al Pacino danced) - as well as one of Scott Joplin's unforgettable ragtimes: The Strenuous Life. The dialogue style of the compositions suggests that parts should be exchanged ad libitum within individual works in the case of repetition.Content : E.

Par LHOYER ANTOINE DE. Cette fantaisie concertante, légère, pétillante, une des plus belles 'uvres, nous entraîne vers un univers auquel les guitaristes n'ont pas souvent accès dans le répertoire de l'époque. Une 'uvre très classique, mais pleine de surprises, de raffinement et d'élégance. Antoine de Lhoyer, dans cette Fantaisie opus 33, déploie toujours la même inventivité harmonique, rythmique et mélodique si rares dans la musique pour guitare de cette époque, mais aussi et surtout, une maîtrise de l'art de jouer en duo. Cette 'uvre est un cas presque unique à cette période de la guitare, par sa durée et sa forme en huit mouvements: Allegro moderato, Menuetto, Andante avec quatre variations, Adagio, Menuetto, Polonaise, Romance, Rondo. De Lhoyer réussit pourtant à édifier un ensemble remarquablement cohérent. Car si chaque mouvement peut être joué isolément avec bonheur, l'enchaînement de la totalité laisse apparaître une unicité de l'inspiration. De nombreuses réminiscences d'un mouvement à un autre (motifs et tournures mélodiques, figures ryth-miques), et une succession logique des caractères donnent à l''uvre le ciment qui justifie sa longueur. Avec cette fantaisie, Antoine de Lhoyer conçoit le duo de guitare comme une entité musicale qui tient une place entière et méritée dans le monde de la musique de chambre./ Répertoire / Guitare

Preludio contains 130 easy attractive performance pieces from six centuries, thus offering the most important pieces for beginners' guitar lessons in one comprehensive volume. The repertoire is ideal for first performances at music schools, as pieces for competitions and examinations or just as a 'treasure trove' for teachers, pupils, students, and guitar lovers.The selected pieces can be played in the second to fourth year of guitar lessons. They are divided chronologically into five chapters and arranged progressively according to their level of difficulty. Each chapter refers to another epoch: Renaissance - Baroque - Classical period - Romanticism and early 20th century - modern, pop and world music. The result is a tune book which can already be used during or immediately after studying any guitar method.Most pieces can be played in the 1st and 2nd positions, without requiring any barré fingering or ties and slurs. The somewhat more difficult pieces that require small and large barré fingering as well as position playing are placed at the end of each chapter.The majority of the pieces are original works, and the editors have refrained from making any radical simplifications. Only a few difficult passages have alternatively been made easier to play such that the level of difficulty within a piece does not vary too much. / Guitare
