Title: BASIC CHAMBER MUSIC VOL. 1
Author: JUAN ANTONIO MURO
Publisher: MEL BAY PUBLICATIONS
ISMN: M-2047-0137-7

Conjunction with Chanterelle presents the first of two volumes of short chamber music works for pupils of all ages in their first years of study. The music is mainly descriptive, idiomatic and easy, frequently using dramatic elements. The didactic aim is the practice of instrumental ensemble playing. At a personal level the music contains small musical and technical challenges, such as notes or passages in high positions, natural harmonics, and dynamic changes as well as basic articulation techniques, basic timbrical elements, and other colorful effects typical of contemporary music. All the works are constructed so that the first two guitars contain the essence of the music, while the third and fourth guitars add dimension and color to the ensemble. This means that each work can be played as a duo, trio, or quartet. The works are also perfectly adaptable for larger ensembles. Written in standard notation only.

Title: COMPLETE GIULIANI STUDIES
Author: DAVID GRIMES (ed.)
Publisher: MEL BAY PUBLICATIONS
ISBN: 0-7866-1433-1 (0786614331)

The studies of Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) stand alongside those of Fernando Sor, Matteo Carcassi, Dionisio Aguado and Ferinando Carulli as the staples of the didactic pieces by the "first generation" of classical guitarists. Giuliani was one of the most celebrated guitarists of his age, a brilliant performer and prolific composer. He left a legacy of compositions, and many of his works are heard regularly in recitals and concerts today. His student pieces are considered indispensable by generations of guitarists. The studies and exercises contained in the six opus numbers here provide some of the most effective material in the entire guitar literature for building and refining a superior technical command of the guitar. In this edition, David Grimes has modernized some of the notation and corrected a number of misprints from Giuliani's original publications.

The guitar studies of Fernando Sor (1778-1839) have long been valued highly among the indispensable elements of a guitarist's training. A number of prominent virtuosi attribute a large portion of their development to the diligent study of these works. Sor's studies address an impressive array of technical and musical topics, including proper left-hand fingering, training of the right hand, interval and chord formations, scales, arpeggios, repeated notes, ligados, barring, natural harmonics, control of note duration, balance of melody versus accompaniment, and the handling of contrapuntal voices. A careful study of these pieces will lay the groundwork for a solid technique and allow the guitarist to build the control necessary for the expression of his or her musical concepts. In preparing this edition David Grimes worked with Sor's original publications, but incorporated some alterations that appear in those studies that Napoleon Coste chose to include in his Methode complete pour la Guitarre par Ferdinand Sor. Furthermore, Mr. Grimes has corrected misprints, modernized the notation and rectified some.
