Par DR. HAYES-JONES SARAH. Unknown until their discovery was announced in 1971 by Péter Várnai in an article in Die Musikforschung, this set of six suites for solo violin, published in 1696, is in all likelihood a second edition of, or second collection to his First Dozen Allemandes, Courantes, Sarabands, and Gigues for Solo Violin without Basso Continuo published in 1682 which are considered lost. Along with his suite for solo violin published in 1683 in Le Mercure Galant, these suites for unaccompanied violin are the first in their medium and undoubtedly served as an inspiration for Bach?s Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin.This edition is a modern transcription of Westhoff?s unique notation and provides editorial fingering and bowing suggestions. A facsimile of the only extant 1696 publication, which is housed in the Somogyi Károly Városi és Megyei Könyvtár in Szeged, Hungary, is included in the back of this edition for reference. This edition was created with the intention of making these suites more accessible, and to be used as a pedagogical tool in preparation for the study of solo Bach. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Violon

Par FEASTER HALLEY. New cello students nearly always start in first position aided by finger tapes or guides for accurate finger placement. As they advance, they are expected to learn to shift out of first position, but the focus is on the movement of the shift rather than on note locations or pitch accuracy.In this book, author and versatile cellist Halley Feaster introduces a step-by-step approach to understanding each position, leading to thorough comprehension of the cello fingerboard and a more confident and well-rounded player.Together with its engaging video component, Cello Position Handbook shows advanced beginners and intermediate students what notes are available in each of 12 positions. Short exercises and excerpts are provided for practice in each location, ultimately enabling fluid performance without excessive shifting.On completion of this volume, students will be familiar with what notes are available in each position and be able to move comfortably between them while expanding their repertoires. Includes access to online video. / Date parution : 2022-06-08/ Etude / Violoncelle

Par HOLENKO JOHN. This collection includes over 70 compositions from the Renaissance presented as melodies with accompanying chord changes. This simple format makes the material suitable for flute. The music includes some well-known Renaissance melodies such as \'Greensleeves\' and \'La Folias\', along with rarer dance pieces and song melodies. Some of these melodies come from as early as the 1400s and others as late as the 1600s. The music in this book is excellent for flutists looking to expand their repertoire, build an early music ensemble, or for instructional purposes. The book also comes with a few \'Grounds\' (jamming chord progressions), rhythmic accompaniment ideas and performance notes. / Date parution : 2022-06-08/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière

Les guitaristes classiques et flamenco bénéficieront de ces études car elles comblent le fossé entre les études mécaniques traditionnelles et le matériel de pratique et de concert. Bien qu\'elles soient relativement courtes, quelques-unes de ces études peuvent être combinées dans un medley pour former une suite ou un ensemble efficace. En outre, quatorze des vingt études sont accompagnées d\'accords pour l\'analyse harmonique, l\'improvisation ou l\'interprétation avec un professeur ou un second guitariste. L\'accompagnement audio en ligne de ce livre a été magistralement enregistré par l\'auteur à l\'aide d\'une guitare flamenca pour rendre de manière authentique les techniques typiques de picado, double-arpeggio, arpeggio-legato et horquilla, ainsi que le tremolo flamenco quintuplet. Les éléments classiques traditionnels tels que les études d\'octaves, d\'intervalles et d\'arpèges sont également explorés en profondeur, avec un morceau en accord drop-D, le tout avec une saveur flamenco. En plus d\'accomplir sa mission d\'offrir un nouveau régime d\'études pratiques attrayantes, la caractéristique vraiment unique de ce livre est que tout, de la technique de base à l\'harmonie exotique et aux échelles modales, a été aflamencado ou flamencoïsé . À cette fin, un glossaire complet de la terminologie flamenco est fourni, ainsi que la notation standard et la tablature pour chaque morceau. En bonus pour ceux qui découvrent le genre flamenco, ou pour les aficionados ou audiophiles sérieux, une généreuse liste d\'écoutes recommandées est incluse. Des citations d\'éminents guitaristes de différents styles complètent cette collection exceptionnelle, avec un accès à l\'audio en ligne. / Partitions variété - pop - rock / Musique du monde / / MEL BAY

arranged for Classical Guitar Solo. Par GUERRA STEPHEN. Choro is a popular instrumental-music tradition flourishing in Brazil and around the world. It preceded, influenced, and in turn was influenced by samba and bossa nova. Its repertory is vast, including thousands of choros composed by all manner of string, wind, keyboard, and percussion players?in addition to the guitar classics by João Pernambuco and Heitor Villa-Lobos.This landmark publication gives guitarists access to this seemingly endless repertory, empowering its readers to turn a choro written for any instrument into a convincing and idiomatic solo guitar arrangement. This process is taught through examples provided by Dr. Stephen Guerra, a versatile guitarist/composer intimately familiar with both classical and Brazilian guitar (violão brasileiro) as well as the choro idiom.This book is intended for both students of Brazilian guitar and classical guitarists seeking to add choros to their repertory and play them authentically. It includes: ?Original solo arrangements plus lead sheets and online recordings of 10 choros for the intermediate to advanced classic guitarist?Biographical and performance notes regarding the selected composers and compositions.?Insightful suggestions for further reading, listening, and study. ?Extensive endnotes explaining arrangement choices, notation practice and influences. Dr. Guerra focuses on classics from the pioneering generation of choro composers culminating in the artistry of João Pernambuco, Pixinguinha, and Heitor Villa-Lobos; among others, these include compositions by choro pianists Chiquinha Gonzaga and Ernesto Nazareth, samba singer-composer Noel Rosa, choro bandleaders Joaquim Calado and Anacleto de Medeiros, and Brazil?s early flute virtuoso, Patápio Silva.Includes access to online audio. / Date parution : 2022-04-26/ Recueil / Guitare Classique

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
