Download or read book Sylvius Leopold Weiss Three Late Sonatas for Classical Guitar written by Allen Krantz and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book English Lute Composers for Classic Guitar written by Joseph Castle and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 16th and 17th Centuries, lutenists were invariably included as part of the musical retinue of Kings, Queens, and Princes. At least one lutenist was also included in households of nobles and landed gentry. These were the "musicians in residence," so to speak. Professional lutenists were a feature of the courts, and their talents were handsomely rewarded. Though England produced only a small amount of printed lute music, it is extremely fortunate that many manuscript books of famous lutenists were not lost or destroyed and are now carefully preserved in museums and libraries. Lutenists not only composed original works for their instrument but arranged popular airs and dances of the period as well. This book contains excellent examples of each type of composition.

Download or read book Classical Guitar Solos Favorite Sonatinas written by David Grimes and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
