Instrumentation: Classical Guitar
Level: Intermediate-Advanced

This publication presents a lightly modernised, fully corrected, reliable edition of Francisco Tarrega's more idiomatic transcriptions and arrangements for the classic guitar. Tarrega, who was also an able pianist, chose works by diverse composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, and Robert Schumann to arrange for his own guitar performances, greatly expanding the concert guitar repertoire of his time. This publication provides today's players with a dependable edition of these works that can be seamlessly incorporated into any modern concert program. Written in standard notation only for the intermediate to advanced guitarist, this collection features pieces that were less commonly heard on the guitar and sound remarkably fresh to this day.
