The vast musical production by Darius Milhaud (Marseille, 4 September 1892?Geneva, 22 June 1974) is made up of more than 450 titles, including theatrical works, ballets, stage and choral music, vocal and instrumental compositions, as well as chamber and piano music. The guitar, on the other hand, occupies only a marginal place, with one short composition, written in 1957, entitled Segoviana. The Andalusian guitarist Andrés Segovia (1893?1987) was not only its dedicatee but its protagonist, seeing that the piece was conceived in his image. The present edition, edited by Frédéric Zigante, differs from the first one of 1959 for a layout that makes reading easier and the addition of fingering indications.

Classical Guitar Solos - Favorite Sonatinas. In this book, guitarist and music historian David Grimes presents 20 ?small sonatas? or sonatinas, complete with detailed performance notes and bio sketches of each of the contributing composers: Leonhard von Call, Matteo Carcassi, Ferdinando Carulli, Mauro Giuliani, Francesco Molino, and Antonio Nava. While flexible, the early 19th-century sonatina form usually consists of 2 - 4 contrasting movements, here in guitar-friendly keys, making these pieces ideal for performance by intermediate-level students. In all but the most challenging passages, Grimes has intentionally kept fingering to a minimum to allow students to form their own concept of this critical skill. Then, as many bass notes in these pieces are played on open strings, the player must develop a sense of when to selectively damp dissonant tones or observe a rest? exposing and overcoming yet another shortcoming in the education of many guitarists. Most classic guitar teachers are familiar with the easy didactic studies by Carcassi, Carulli and Giuliani; Favorite Sonatinas offers more highly developed, but not yet virtuoso pieces by the same Italian triumvirate? plus three more composers in a similar vein? promoting confident, enjoyable sight-reading by guitarists of all levels.
