Summary of This Book
This collection brings together a particularly rich assortment of pieces for classical guitar, composed by major and pioneering figures of the repertoire: Fernando Sor, Dionisio Aguado, Ferdinando Carulli, Mauro Giuliani, as well as Johann Sebastian Bach, Gaspar Sanz, John Dowland, Robert Schumann, Napoleon Coste, and others. Designed as a progressive anthology, it allows exploration of varied styles through highly formative forms: andante and andantino for phrasing, minuets, gigues, sarabandes, and scottishes for dance and articulation, as well as several studies and "lessons" to strengthen technique in the service of musicality.
Jerry Willard's selection targets an emerging intermediate level, perfect for building a solid repertoire without getting lost in excessive difficulties. Throughout the pages, the guitarist naturally works on right-hand consistency (arpeggios and accompaniments), rhythmic precision, position shifts, voice leading, and expressive singing. The online audio complements the learning by providing an interpretation model: ideal for understanding the style (Baroque, Classical, Romantic), refining nuances, and developing a more controlled tone. A comprehensive support for lessons, home practice, and first public performances.
