For the first time this edition presents work for Guitar solo and for Guitar duet by Graciano Tarragó grouped into different collections. Despite the fact that the composer published the set of works separately (with the exception of the collections of studies and the Catalan Christmas songs) it is not difficult to see that a natural classification surges from its formal structure from its source of inspiration and from its intent upon observing the works as a whole.The main objective of this revision was to update its presentation to meet the demands of the Guitar world today and to offer scores that ease the introduction to the study of this copious collectionof works. The works hold an indisputable musical beauty and demand technical virtuosic knowledge of the highest level.

Alexandre Lagoya once said: 'For one Guitar you can write what the Guitar will allow you to write. For two Guitars you can write what you choose.' While there is a measure of overstatement in this it remains true that themedium of two Guitars allows much greater creative freedom to the composer.There are many kinds of Guitar-duo works- at one extreme the very simple at the other the call for two virtuosi; those in this book inhabit themiddle of this spectrum. They are not in effect accompanied Guitar solos but equal duets in which two players of moderate technical ability converse with one another sharing the lead. This they do without sacrificing musicalinterest.Two of the pieces consist of variations on folk tunes - Shades of Green uses the Irish tune The Next Market Day while Varieties of Scotch is based on the well known Scottish tune YeBanks and Braes. The remaining duet is an affectionate nod in the ragtime direction of Scott Joplin. The two sets of variations are suitable for concert use and Joblinesque is a natural encore piece.

Media Comments:(...)A publication that is relevant and enjoyable to use on your own as it is in a tutorial setting is a rare thing indeed but wonderfully achieved here by Richard Graf in his book of duos Guitar for Two. Entertaining titles of original works include Mission Possible (an entertaining spoof version of Mission Impossible) and Reggae for Carmen (an amusing mix of Stevie Wonder’s Masterblaster and the Habañera from Carmen) as well as other more traditional arrangement of tunes such as Danny Boy and House of the Rising Sun. The relatively simple top line combined with the more detailed accompaniment offers a range of challenges which will make this book of usethroughout the easy to intermediate stages of learning the guitar. A CD included allowing accompanied performance of the pieces at home. Although the CD is performed on steel-strung guitars this book is nevertheless also perfectly relevant for classical guitarists. Graf has pitched his writing to provide challenging yet idiosyncratic pieces within a framework of highly entertaining styles.(...)(Music Teacher 6/03)Contents: Graf Richard: RichBlues · Bonfa Luiz: Manha de Carneval (Black Orpheus) · Graf Richard: Rain in Spain · Scarborough Fair · Graf Richard: Mission Possible · Russian Tango (Dark Eyes) · Graf Richard: Whatz up · Reggae for Carmen (Habanera) · Graf Richard: Sad Tango · Graf Richard: Flip Flap · House of the Rising Sun · Graf Richard: Bolero · Danny Boy · Oh Happy Day · Graf Richard: Zeit vergeht
