Boris Asafiev (1884-1949) was perhaps the most important musicologist, critic and writer in the Soviet Union during the early decades of the century. His writings in books and articles such as “Musical form as a process”, “Glinka,” “Studies for the Symphony,” “The Book About Stravinsky” were the main foundation for an entire epoch in Soviet musicology. He was also a prolific and inventive composer. He was known mostly for such ballets as “The Flame of Paris” (1932), based upon the French Revolution, “Bakhchisaraisky Fountain” (1934), based upon A.S. Pushkin’s poem. Asafiev was introduced to the guitar by Andrés Segovia, during the latter’s 1926 tour of the Soviet Union. After hearing the Spanish guitarist, Asafiev published a review of the concert which became the corner-stone of the re-emergence of the six-string guitar in Russia. Moreover, this review, by a musical critic who already enjoyed then a world-wide reputation, was in no small part a principal factor in the career of Segovia, not only in the Soviet Union to where he was to be invited again and again, but also in many other countries. Probably with Segovia’s encouragement, Asafiev set to write music for the guitar. Unfortunately, he only got around to it some 13 years after his first meeting with Segovia, and three years after Segovia’s last visit to the Soviet Union in 1936. The result of his work in this direction were the Six Romances and 12 Preludes for Solo Guitar, and the present guitar concerto in G Major, all written in 1939. 

This edition of the Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra by Boris Asafiev, edited by Angelo Gilardino, is based on the earliest known autograph sketches by the composer, as well as on several manuscript copies widely circulating in the Soviet Union, and on the Moscow Muzfond edition, published on the occasion of the 1957 Festival of Workers and Youth where the concerto was performed.

Note: This fascicle includes only the solo guitar part, with a CD containing an electronic rendition of the orchestra in progressive tempi, for practice and rehearsal purposes, A full set of performance materials, including a full score and all the instrumental parts, is available separately.

Nikita Koshkin was born in 1956 in Moscow. He studied the classical guitar with Georgi Emanov at the Moscow College of Music and later with Alexander Frauchi at the Gnessin Institute. He studied composition there with Victor Egorov. Music by Nikita Koshkin entered the world’s stage with the first performance of the “Prince’s Toys” suite by Vladimir Mikulka in Paris in 1980. It attracted the attention of audiences and critics almost instantaneously. The list of Koshkin’s compositions for the solo guitar and for the guitar with other instruments (double bass, violin, flute, etc) is extensive and now forms part of the concert repertoire of many important concert guitarists such as John Williams, Vladimir Mikulka, Ricardo Cobo, María Isabel Sievers, Elena Papandreou and many other. Koshkin also had written several guitar duos and trios, a guitar quartet and a suite for mezzo soprano and guitar, works that have been performed to great acclaim by leading ensembles such as the the Assad brothers and the Zagreb and Amsterdam guitar trios.
Koshkin’s music is deeply dramatic and at the same time witty and playful, forceful and imaginative. Numerous extra-musical references to legends, fairy tales and literary figures, as well as musical forms of other cultures, innovative sound effects, and patterns of popular music, give rise to a rich texture full of surprises. In addition, Koshkin offers the distinctive Russian blend of romantic fervor, passionate feeling and verve and melancholy that, even more than his exquisite craftsmanship, accounts for the appeal of his compositions to audiences everywhere. koshkin.jpg (6157 bytes) An active concert artist himself, Koshkin has toured in Russia, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Poland, and the United States. He recorded his first CD in 1997, “The Prince's Toy’s—Koshkin Plays Koshkin” and, in collaboration with American guitarist Frank Koonce, he returned to the United States to make a second album entitled “The Well-Tempered Koshkin” and to tour in 1999-2000. Mr. Koshkin lives in Moscow where he divides his time between composing, performing and teaching.
