Summary of This Score
This fourth volume in the "Anthology of Baroque Guitar" series offers a coherent anthology of 12 Baroque works by major composers of the 17th and 18th centuries, transcribed for guitar by Stuart Willis. It notably includes pieces attributed to Bach, Weiss, Kellner, and Corbetta, presenting a range of forms, characters, and writing typical of the Baroque language.
Designed as a reference collection for advanced guitarists, this volume emphasizes stylistic variety and the exploration of repertoire historically linked to the Baroque lute. The transcriptions prioritize readability, voice balance, and musicality to work on line leading, articulation, ornamentation, and Baroque dance with a practical approach.
The edition also stands out for its pedagogical support: composer biographies and interpretation comments facilitate understanding of the musical context and help build convincing phrasing. The included CD, performed by Jens Franke, serves as a valuable reference for listening to style, tempo choices, cadence breathing, and the implementation of expressive details.
Recommended for students with approximately 8 to 9 years of experience, this collection is aimed at musicians seeking a advanced to difficult level score, ideal for enriching a concert program, deepening Baroque guitar repertoire, and developing a repertoire culture beyond isolated pieces.
