Arranged For Classical Guitar-This anthology contains nineteen of the most popular Gilbert and Sullivan classics arranged in easily sight-readable versions for beginning to intermediate classical guitarists. All the favorites are here ranging fromsentimental ballads such as Little Buttercup Willow Tit-Willow and There Grew a Little Flower to more up-tempo 'patter' type pieces such as Oh! A Private Buffoon Kind Sir You Cannot Have theHeart and A Policeman's Lot. The aim has been to provide both a useful teaching resource and a light-hearted alternative to the more 'serious' music of the Classical Guitar repertoire. All the pieces lendthemselves extremely well to the common idiomatic textures of the Classical Guitar. A variety of melody and accompaniment styles are employed including block chords arpeggio patterns and passages of double-stopped thirdsand sixths. A number of the pieces are in easy first position format while others explore the common higher positions. The standard Guitar keys are utilized (C G D A E) but there are occasional more challengingtemporary modulations to 'difficult' keys such as E flat major. There are also instances of drop-D tuning which is often required in Classical Guitar playing.

Until the beginning of the 1980s, the figure of François de Fossa was mainly known by his relationship with Dionisio Aguado, a relationship that included de Fossa?s collaboration in producing the two Parisian editions of the Aguado Escuela, and the complete translation of one of them into French. The situation changed radically in 1981 with the publication by Editions Orphée of a monograph which not only revealed very interesting and decisive factors in regard to the guitar quintets of Luigi Boccherini, but also included an important biographical study and a checklist of the known compositions of François de Fossa. Several works by de Fossa were published in later years, among which were works for two guitars, trios, quartets, an anthology of selected works for guitar solo published in 1990. De Fossa?s Quatre Divertissemens pour la Guitare seule extraits des Oeuvres de J. Haydn, his Op. 13, was part of that anthology. The current edition of it was engraved anew, and completely edited and fingered. The works of Haydn from which this music is drawn are as follows: Divertimento I ? Symphony N° 63 ?La Roxolane?, and Symphony N° 85 ?La Reine? Divertimento II ? Largo Cantabile, Rondo Allegretto. In spite of rigorous search, we have not been successful in identifying the movements of this Divertimento among the known works of Haydn. Divertimento III ? Symphony N° 85 ?La Reine?and Symphony N° 86 Divertimento IV ? Symphony N° 53 ?L?Imperiale? and Symphony N° 85 ?La Reine?. The Andante of this symphony was also used, at about the same time, by Fernando Sor, as the theme of his Thema Varié pour la Guitare ou Lyre, (WoO-1) as well as in his Op. 20. Of considerable interest here is de Fossa?s seemingly paradoxical approach to transcribing music by Haydn. In the case of Haydn string quartets, he chose the two guitars medium, providing for a more facile representation of the harmony and counterpoint. In transcribing these four divertimenti, extracted from several Haydn symphonies, he chose the solo guitar as the target instrumentation, clearly a medium that is far less appropriate for handling a complex musical texture than the guitar duo. It is perfectly understandable that he was not entirely successful in retaining the selection?s original integrity, having eliminated some parts as noted above. Nevertheless, the resulting works, those that are directly attributable to Haydn and the one that cannot, are splendid concert pieces for the solo guitar.

?The aim of this book is to gather in one place a compendium of techniques specific to the classical guitar. Each technique has a written explanation preliminary exercises and two original compositions providing theopportunity to use the techniques in a musical context.? - Steve Marsh Mel Bay Publications was founded on Mel?s simple pretext of ?finding a need and fillingit.?  Mel Bay author Steve Marsh continues in that tradition with the publication of The Anthology of Classical Guitar Techniques a highly original concept that fills a distinct need in the guitar studyrepertoire.  Graded from lower intermediate to higher intermediate in difficulty this anthology avoids fundamental skills known to most beginners and goes straight to intermediate-level techniques such as: arpeggio barré campanella glissando harmonics pizzicato rapid scales rasgueado tambour tremolo vibrato and more. Each of the 32 techniques is illuminated with preliminary studies and two original compositions all writtenin standard notation only. If you?re ready to take the next step with the classical guitar this book will improve your technique and musicianship in general increase your ability to listen to yourself critically and so lead to more productive practice sessions.
