The Sonata for guitar solo was conceived in 1981 and premiered in 1984 by the author. It has been revised several times, the final version was finished in 1999 and dedicated to the great guitarist Zoran Dukic. It follows the outline of Classical Sonata Form but is heavily influenced by the rhythmical, melodic and harmonic language of jazz and traditional Balkan music.

NOW IN ONE VOLUME! Since their first publication in 1992 the Microstudies of Abel Carlevaro have become firmly established among the most important sets of didactic studies for the guitar from the 20th century. Composed at the suggestion of Chanterelle, these studies, twenty in all, cover practically every aspect of guitar technique. Although they constitute an essential complement to Carlevaro's theoretical works, the Escuela de Guitarraand the legendary Cuadernos, his four volume series of technical exercises, they can be used on their own. The music is of the consistent high quality and originality we have to come to expect from Carlevaro and, as with many of his works, the essence of Tango and Milonga can be felt throughout the entire collection. These short yet compact miniatures, many of which are barely a minute in duration, are arranged in a progressive order of difficulty following the same time-honoured structure as used by Fernando Sor, Leo Brouwer and others. Until now the Microstudies were available in four separate volumes published between 1992-2000. The present new revised edition in one single volume offers great value for money and will put them within easy reach of guitarists and students everywhere.

ISBN 9781619110601. This is an anthology of beautiful easy-to-moderate level pieces by 19th century masters of the guitar: Dionisio Aguado, Antonio Cano, Federico Cano, Matteo Carcassi, Fernando Sor, and Francisco Terrega, adapted for a modern right-hand technique that includes the little finger. German Professor of Guitar Leonhard Beck has compiled this collection with the assistance of Charles Postlewate, pioneer of the use of the right hand little finger. It shows the advantage of using the little finger in the playing of scales, chords, arpeggios, tremolos and harmonics for speed, accuracy, strength and balance. These studies make good repertoire pieces for the beginning guitarist or for the advanced guitarist who wishes to add the little finger to an already-developed right-hand technique. They are graded in three levels of Easy (7 studies), Easy-Intermediate (9 studies) and Intermediate (11 studies) for the progressive development of the right hand. An ideal companion to MB98710 - Right Hand Studies for Five Fingers: Using Chords, Arpeggios, Tremolos and Harmonics by Charles Postlewate. Standard notation only.
