Enrique Granados composed his Valses Poeticos for solo Piano around 1886-1887 after he moved from Barcelona to Paris to study with Charles-Wilfrid de Beriot and Felip Pedrell.This bookpresents the seven beautiful waltzes in the Valses Poeticos for Guitar preceded by an un-waltz-like introduction (Vivace molto) and ending with a colorful clever coda (Presto). Lily Afshar'sGuitar arrangement is very faithful to the original Piano version and contains fingerings that are idiomatic and musical. The total performance length is sixteen minutes in duration in eight movements: 1. Vivace moltoand Melodico 2. Tempo de Vals noble 3. Tempo de Vals lento 4. Allegro humoristico 5. Allegretto (elegante) 6. Quasi ad libitum (sentimental) 7. Vivo 8. Presto

Media Type : Book Level : Beginning-Intermediate Musical Genre : Classic Number of pages : 76 Traditionally the classic guitar has been either excluded or inadequately represented in orchestration textbooks, resulting in much misinformation about its technique, its practicality in various performance contexts, and its character. The guitar's unique tuning, broad timbral variety and intimate nature pose a formidable challenge to non-guitarist composers, for whom an extensive amount of time would be required to gain even a minimal hands-on acquaintance. For most composers this is an unrealistic expectation, leading to time-consuming consultations and extensive drafting or rewriting. The purpose of this book is to provide the non-guitarist composer with the fundamental tools needed to write idiomatically for the guitar. The first of its kind for the guitar, the reference was written in consultation with dozens of composers and conceived with three types of end users in mind: - Experienced composers with a concern for writing idiomatically for the guitar. - Guitarists who are commissioning a work from a composer who has never written for the instrument. - Libraries that wish to add this essential sourcebook to their music reference section. The very structure of the book reflects the composer's own intuition by addressing such questions as: - How is the guitar constructed? - What does successful guitar music look like? - How is the guitar played? - How does the guitarist interpret music and express emotion? - Which musical elements and gestures are most effective? - How do these elements combine to create an effective pacing of idioms? By examining the parameters of successfully written pieces, The Composer's Desk Reference for the Classic Guitar provides an expedient resource of ideas and illustrations contributing to the fluency of both first-time and seasoned guitar composers.

Arranger's Note - An edition of music like anything else is a product of its own time. During the 1980s guitarists of my generation were starting to become aware of stylistic concerns in the interpretation ofearly music. There was a movement towards stylistic authenticity an attempt to re-discover the original intentions of early composers and recreate the aesthetic elements that were appropriate to their music. This growing movementprompted me to research the lute music of J.S. Bach and to develop my own edition of it. Frank Koonce. This attractive spiral-bound book contains reference information sources and historical data facsimilies ofthe original manuscript as well as the music of J.S. Bach arranged for classical guitar in modern notation.
