Summary of This Method
This method dedicated to the baroque guitar gathers the entire pedagogical and musical legacy of Gaspar Sanz, one of the most celebrated guitarists and composers of his time. Published in the 17th century, this work is recognized by early music enthusiasts as a key document for understanding the playing, style, and practice of the baroque guitar, both technically and musically.
For a long time, access to this source was limited by language (Old Spanish) and by the tablature system used at the time, whose subtleties require real deciphering work. This edition makes the work much more accessible: the text is translated into English and the tablatures are accompanied by standard notation, allowing today's guitarists to directly connect fingerings, harmonies, and musical lines. A valuable asset for working on ornamentation, dances, and baroque aesthetics with reliable and comfortable reading.
Jerry Willard complements the content with adaptations intended for the modern guitar, providing a concrete bridge between the historical instrument and the current classical guitar. The included CDs offer performances of selections from this repertoire, played both on baroque guitar and modern guitar: an ideal resource to refine listening, phrasing, articulation, and sense of style. An essential method to enrich one's culture, explore the baroque repertoire, and nourish one's playing with an authentic source.
