CLAPTON ERIC, FOR CLASSICAL GUITAR.
10 CANZONI DI CLAPTON ARRANGIATE PER CHITARRA CLASSICA JOHN ZARADIN.
Notes to The Music In This Volume
This collection of songs by Eric Clapton is new repertoire for the
classical guitar and introduces solo adaptations of the music that
are not simply score reductions of the originals.
Where the music is dependent on the amplification or sound effects
of the electric, steel-strung guitar, I have made modification to
it, or created new passages, that are more idiomatic of the
acoustic, fingerstyle instrument.
Examples are found:
a) in the solos and improvisations, which sometimes extend beyond
the fingerboard range of the classical guitar.
b) where to maintain a continuity of the bass and solo lines
produces an impossible or uncharacteristic solo part.
c) where a section is left open for improvising.
d) where a part is intended to be played by another instrument,
such as keyboards.
Chord symbols are included for reference to denote the basic
background harmonies.
My intention in arranging these very popular songs has been to
produce musically satisfying pieces that the classical guitarist
can add to his repertoire both for study and performance.
