ANDRÉS SEGOVIA The Finest Pieces from His Repertoire
Editor or Arranger: Andrés Segovia
Composer: Various Composers

Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) fu il più grande chitarrista del Novecento. Interprete, dunque, ma anche trascrittore e compositore. Il suo pezzo più bello e famoso è Estudio sin Luz, una malinconica canzone in Si minore.

Andreés Segovia (Linares, 1893 – Madrid, 1987)

Anche se il suo apporto come compositore fu modesto – e da lui stesso tenuto in scarsissima considerazione – Andrés Segovia, il più grande chitarrista del novecento, esercitò un possente influsso nella formazione di un nuovo repertorio di musiche originali per chitarra: una descrizione del lavoro che egli svolse in quest’area è premessa imprescindibile per la comprensione delle origini di quella che, non senza motivo, è stata chiamata la rinascita della chitarra. Andrés segovia nacque il 21 febbraio 1893 a Linares, cittadina della provincia andalusa di Jaén. in nessuno dei suoi scritti autobiografici si trova il minimo accenno alla figura paterna, completamente rimossa, mentre la madre è ricordata perché, quando il piccolo aveva cinque anni, lo affidò agli zii. Con questi, abitò dapprima a Villacarrillo e poi a Granada. nell’infanzia, imparò a suonare la chitarra flamenca. Ebbe la rivelazione della chitarra “classica” intorno ai dieci-dodici anni, ascoltando un dilettante granadino. Da quel momento, la sua vita fu segnata da un unico ideale e, non potendo contare su un’istruzione musicale regolare (allora la chitarra non era inclusa nei programmi delle scuole di musica) si formò come autodidatta. Com’egli amava ripetere negli anni della gloria: «Fui maestro e allievo di me stesso e, grazie agli sforzi di entrambi, nessuno dei due fu scontento dell’altro». Esordì con un concerto al Centro Artistico di granada nel 1909, lo stesso anno in cui Francisco Tárrega lasciava questo mondo. Cercò contatti con gli allievi del maestro valenciano, che però gli opposero i loro ottusi pregiudizi.

Fernando Sor

Essenzialmente nelle composizioni per chitarra sola e per due chitarre, il genere nel quale riuscì a esprimersi più congenialmente. La sua biografia – scritta dal musicologo britannico Brian Jeffery e validamente integrata dagli apporti di altri musicologi quali Josep María Mangado, Richard Long, Emili olcina, Matanya ophee – ci rivela un uomo dal carattere difficile e finanche conflittuale, affetto – almeno per quanto riguarda la sua presenza nel mondo della chitarra, allora fittamente popolato – dal complesso del primo della classe e acribiosamente impegnato nel dimostrare al mondo la propria superiorità. Questa era di per sé evidente nelle pagine per chitarra che egli andava scrivendo e non avrebbe avuto bisogno di alcun sostegno polemico: l’osservazione si rende necessaria di fronte al fatto che una considerevole parte della Méthode pour la Guitare, pubblicata a Parigi nel 1830, è spesa da sor nel difendersi dalle sciocche insinuazioni di chitarristi suoi coevi, dei quali non sapremmo nulla, se non fosse lui stesso a informarci della loro insignificante esistenza. sor era figlio di una famiglia della borghesia catalana ed era perciò destinato alla carriera nella pubblica amministrazione o nell’esercito. il padre, un impiegato, non incoraggiò, ma tollerò il suo spontaneo avvicinamento alla musica e, fin dall’infanzia, lo portò ad assistere alle rappresentazioni operistiche, quasi tutte di autori italiani. Alla prematura morte del genitore, il fanciullo, che cantava spontaneamente arie da opera, aveva ricevuto qualche lezione di violino e suonava la chitarra di suo, fu portato all’Abbazia di Montserrat, dove prosperava una famosa schola cantorum. L’istruzione musicale di sor ebbe quindi anche un’impronta polifonica, che più tardi si rivelerà chiaramente nella sua musica per chitarra.

RODRIGO JOAQUIN, CONCERTO DE ARANJUEZ. Ed. Romero, solo la parte della chitarra.

SHEET MUSIC BOOK FOR CLASSICAL GUITAR.

DITEGGIATURA ROMERO.

Rodrigo composed the Concerto de Aranjuez in 1940 on his return to Spain after the Civil War and debut performance of the work in Barcelona founded his international reputation. Concerto de Aranjuez is a musical reverie on the gardens of the Baroque summer palace of Aranjuez that only a blind composer, like Rodrigo, could have produced. This work immediately became the most recognisably Spanish work of the twentieth century.

This is the solo Guitar part, which has been edited by Angel Romero.

PUMPING NYLON, IN TAB. THE CLASSICAL GUITARIST'S TECHNIQUE HANDBOOK.

LIBRO DI MUSICA CLASSICA, 

SPARTITI PER CHITARRA CON:

PENTAGRAMMA, TABLATURE.

TECNICA, METODO, CLASSICA FLAMENCO

Manuale completo che comprende: i 120 studi per arpeggio di Giuliani, esercizi per di controllo della velocità, le scale, il tremolo, la tecnica del flamenco, il suono, le unghie della mano destra, con esempi da J.S. Bach. TABLATURE

Scott Tennant, world-class classical guitarist and well-respected guitar eduactor, has brought together the most comprehensive technique handbook for the classical guitarist. It is presented here in both standard music notation and TAB. In addition to technical information not available elsewhere, he has compiled selections from Giuliani's 120 Right-Hand Studies; musical examples by Bach, Turina, Rodrigo and others; Tarrega arpeggio studies; and original compositions by Andrew York and Brian Head. Essential information and a great sense of humor are effectively combined in this best-selling book.

Author Preface

Welcome! This is my little book about guitar technique. I want to make it clear from the start that the material in this book is meant to reflect my own way of doing things on the instrument. The exercises are those that have helped me, some of which I still practice every day.

The goal of Pumping Nylon is to offer ideas that will help solve various technical problems. The idea was to steer clear of assembling anything that resembled a method book. Rather, my intent was to focus only on specific technical issues which I felt had not been clearly explained elsewhere. Generally, the issues dealt with in this book are those that have been brought up time and time again by students in master classes and lessons over the past ten years or so.
The exercises and musical examples have been chosen because of their unique technical challenges. For instance, the Bach DOUBLE was taken from a solo guitar arrangement, stripped of all its bass notes and more comfortable fingerings, and transformed into a very effective string-crossing and scale study.
I don't pretend to have addressed every issue. (There are too many out there for one book!) The reader, however, is strongly encouraged to invent hislher own exercises whenever necessary, since all of our technical needs are so very different.
I hope you find a few answers to some of your questions. Go get 'em!

I would like to thank ...
Nat Gunod, for coaching me through this process for the last two years; Brian Head and Andy York for composing their wonderful "made-to-order" etudes; Billy Arcila for posing for the photos that were used to create the illustrations; Durmel DeLeon for the photography; John Dearman and Matt Greif for their technical assistance; an endless list of friends for their constant encouragement; and the students at the ational Guitar Summer Workshop, San Francisco Conservatory and the University of Southern California for being (not always voluntary) "guinea pigs" for much of the [I1aterial contained herein.
And special thanks to Ron Krown at Alfred Publishing for encouraging us to do this new edition.

Glossary of Signs
This list will help you to interpret the various markings in the music.
1, 2, 3, 4 Left hand fingers, numbered from index (1) to pinky (4).
p, i; m, a, Right hand fIngers: p = thumb, i = index, m = middle, a= ring finger.
The six strings of the guitar, numbered from low E 6 to high E 0.
IV, V, VII etc Roman numerals. Here is a quick review of these symbols: 1=1, 11=2, III=3, IV =4,
V=5, V1=6, VII=7, VIII=8, IX=9, X=IO, XI=11 and XII=12.
BII4 The B indicates a barre. The Roman numeral indicates the fret to be barred, and
the small subscript arabic numeral indicates the number of strings to be barred.
So, this symbol would indicate to barre four strings at the second fret.

-1, -2, -3, -4 A dash in front of a fingering indicates a guide finger shif . A shift is a movement
from one position to another. is a finger that can be used just before
and just after a shift. For instance, if the 4th finger has been used to play G on the
J st string. 3rd fret, and then moves to play A on the 1st string, 5th fret, it will be
marked -4.

Editor Preface
I hope you will enjoy this new edition of Scott's gratifyingly popular book. As a response to public
demand, we are happy to provide a version of the book that includes tablature. Hopefully, this will make the book useful to more guitarists. After all, everyone who plays the guitar has something to gain from learning some c1assical guitar technique, and something to learn from a great teacher.
This book evolved from a warm-up routine and technical regimen that Scott Tennant began teaching and writing about several years ago. It is this daily warm-up that has inspired the whimsical title.
Pumping nylon. But in the following pages Scott has done far more than merely map out an exercise routine.
He has provided a wealth of technical information not readily available elsewhere. He has also compiled a variety of both well- and lesser-known technical exercises such as the 120 Right Hand Studie" of Mauro Giuliani and some arpeggio studies by Francesco Tarrega, and has offered some exercises of his own as well. It is also through Scott Tennant that four great new studies. two by Brian Head and two by Andrew York, have been written and published.

But I think he has done a lot more than even those things.
What students and teachers alike will find inPumping Nylon is a joyful attitude toward problem-solving on the classical guitar. There is an underlying message that says if you are willing and able to look at an issue from a different perspective, and if you can bring the same creative powers that you bring to your music-making to your technical work, you can overcome obstacles. Furthermore. there's no law that says it can't be fun.
Anyone who has studied classical guitar is going to hnd ,lOl/lethùl.9 in this book that directly contradicts what you have been taught-or what you teach-about ,1olllethùl.q. This is inevitable. But ifyou dismiss this work for that reason. you will be missing much. I encourage you to read ono Take a look at ali the ideas presented here by this great player and teacher. You will come away better for it.
I expect that for years to come it will be commonplace to hnd well-worn copies of this book in students' hands. I am sure that for Scott Tennant, as for myself, that will be the biggest reward for this efrort.
Many thanks to the wonderful people at Alfred Publishing-especially the M.I. team-for helping to
make this and many other National Guitar Workshop books a reality.

Inspiration
Inspiration only lasts a relatively brief time. We alI eventually fìnd ourselves experiencing a "dry spell."
We get stuck on something in our practicing and can't seem to improve, and sometimes it may seem that we're getting worse. At times we may even think of just quitting. Have you ever felt that the joy you once had for playing is gone forever?
These are not emotions you're experiencing alone. They visit everyone now and then. OccasionalIy we need to give ourselves a break and put down the guitar for a day, a few days, or however long it takes to feel refreshed again. For those who play for a living and don't always have that luxury, some digging back into one's past might be the key. Why did you want to play the guitar in the fìrst piace? Try to recall the feelings you experienced when you fìrst decided that you really wanted to play. Perhaps recall the joy you felt when you heard that fìrst recording or concert that thrilled you. What qualities about the instrument first drew you to it?
As I have done for several circumstances in my life, it may make you feel better to jot down a few of these positive thoughts on a piece of papero Then, when you hit another rough period, you can read through them.

In Conclusion
Music is the most powerful of ali the arts. It instantly stirs up emotions, conjures visions, and offers
glimpses of other, higher dimensions. It arouses men to battle; kindles amorous passions in lovers; soothes a baby to sleep; comforts us when we grieve. It engages our hearts and our minds, and can bring out the best that we are. One can safely presume that not a single emotion, nor any human or natural event, has been left undocumented by music.
As musicians, our objective is to command the elements of music as best we can in order to tap into that other dimensiono It is our access into heaven, if only for a while. But while we are there we can take aH who are listening ith uso If just one person is uplifted by our playing and walks away feeling better than before he carne, we have made a difference. A healing has taken piace.
I very much hope that you have found at least one thing in this book that has helped you. I also hope that, as you work to improve your technique, you do not lose sight of the larger goals: to be able to express yourself freely on your instrument and to turn every note you play into great music. When you can do those things, you cease to be just a guitar player and become a healer and magician.

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV SCHEHERAZADE FOR 2 GUITARS, KAZUHITO YAMASHITA. SHEET MUSIC BOOK FOR 2 GUITARS.

LIBRO DI MUSICA CLASSICA.

SPARTITI PER DUO DI CHITARRA  .

PENTAGRAMMA. 

Movimenti
Shahrazād è composta da quattro movimenti:

I. Il mare e la nave di Sinbad
Largo e maestoso – Lento – Allegro non troppo – Tranquillo (mi minore – mi maggiore)

Il primo movimento è formato da diverse melodie e si presenta in forma A B C A1 B C1. Il truce motivo al basso che apre il primo movimento rappresenta il tema del Sultano, formato da quattro note in scala discendente; subito dopo si sente il tema di Shahrazād, una dolce e sensuale melodia per violino solo accompagnato dall'arpa.

II. Il racconto del principe Kalandar
Lento – Andantino – Allegro molto – Vivace scherzando – Moderato assai – Allegro molto ed animato (si minore)

Il secondo movimento si presenta come un tema con variazioni in tre sezioni. Le variazioni cambiano solo in base all'accompagnamento orchestrale. All'interno della linea melodica generale, una sezione veloce evidenzia i cambiamenti di tonalità e struttura.

III. Il giovane principe e la giovane principessa
Andantino quasi allegretto – Pochissimo più mosso – Come prima – Pochissimo più animato (sol maggiore)

Anche questo movimento è in forma ternaria ed è il più semplice per forma e contenuto melodico. La sezione intermedia sembra basata su un tema di Tamara, mentre le sezioni esterne hanno un contenuto melodico cantabile.

IV. Festa a Baghdad — Il mare – Naufragio della nave sulle rocce sormontate da un guerriero di bronzo
Allegro molto – Lento – Vivo – Allegro non troppo e maestoso – Tempo come I (mi minore – mi maggiore)

L'ultimo movimento è legato a tutti i movimenti precedenti ed aggiunge alcune nuove idee, tra cui un'introduzione sia dell'inizio del movimento che della sezione Vivace basata sul tema del Sultano, una ripetizione del tema di Shahrazād al violino e una ripetizione di motivo di fanfara per rappresentare il naufragio della nave. Un'ultima relazione conflittuale tra il tema del Sultano alla sottodominante minore rispetto alla cadenza alla tonica del tema di Shahrazād si risolve in una conclusione fantastica, lirica e finalmente pacifica.
