Asturias
55 Classical Masterpieces from 5 Centuries
easy to intermediate
guitar
For a long time, arrangements were rather looked down on by music specialists, but today attitudes have relaxed considerably. The classical concert repertoire is extensive and includes many wonderful pieces; many guitarists are naturally keen to get to know these works better by playing them on the guitar. Asturias by Albeniz for instance is one of the most popular works in the classical guitar repertoire, even though this piece is an arrangement: the original piano piece actually aims to imitate the sound of the guitar.
This collection of 55 well-known masterpieces of classical music thus offers arrangements well suited to the guitar, while remaining as faithful as possible to the original setting. This includes widely known classical melodies alongside classic arrangements from the guitar repertoire, through to South American Tangos - music for entertainment that suits the guitar particularly well. Some historic arrangements by prominent musicians of their time such as Mertz, Coste and Tarrega are a valuable addition to this collection: these perennially popular ‘audience favourites’ are an excellent way of introducing guitarists to classical masterpieces.
This collection is a treasure trove for tuition purposes, concert performance and just for fun, with pieces presented in order of increasing difficulty. Most of these arrangements are at intermediate level, with a few easier pieces at the beginning as an introduction and a few transcriptions at advanced level to offer inspiration at the end.
