For the first time this edition presents work for Guitar solo and for Guitar duet by Graciano Tarragó grouped into different collections. Despite the fact that the composer published the set of works separately (with the exception of the collections of studies and the Catalan Christmas songs) it is not difficult to see that a natural classification surges from its formal structure from its source of inspiration and from its intent upon observing the works as a whole.The main objective of this revision was to update its presentation to meet the demands of the Guitar world today and to offer scores that ease the introduction to the study of this copious collectionof works. The works hold an indisputable musical beauty and demand technical virtuosic knowledge of the highest level.
