We get so much sheet music sent to us by various publishers year \u2019round\u2014literally hundreds of pieces in every setting imaginable (solo guitar, multiple guitars, guitar-flute, guitar-harp, etc.)\u2014but we don\u2019t have the space to write about the great majority of them in our four quarterly issues each year.<\/p>\n

So, just as we are now listing new classical guitar CD releases every other Tuesday here, we now use the Tuesdays in between those to announce new print music releases. As with the CDs, these are not reviews (some\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0be reviewed in the magazine, but frankly most will not), but we think it\u2019s important to at least get the word out about what\u2019s being offered to guitarists out there. Where possible, we\u2019ve linked the titles to the publisher\u2019s website or some other outlet where it can be purchased, and stated the degree of difficulty (if provided by the publisher or it\u2019s obvious).\u00a0\u00a0\u2014Blair Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n

\"fish-tale\"
\nOsvaldo Golijov<\/strong>
\nFish Tale<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (for guitar and flute)
\nHendon Music\/Boosey & Hawkes, 17 pp. plus parts<\/p>\n

Flowing, mostly serene 10-minute duet piece described by co-dedicatee David Leisner (whose premiered it with flautist Eugenia Zuckerman in 1998 and made the\u00a0premiere recording<\/a>\u00a0for his 2015 Facts of Life<\/em> CD with Tara Helen O’Connor) as having a “slippery, fluid, evanescent nature.” Composer Golijov: “I was a hallucinated fish before. Or perhaps that’s just a wish. And if it never happened or never will, this music tells how that would be.” Very tuneful and appealing. Intermediate\/advanced.<\/p>\n

\"blasco\"
\nManuel Blasco de Nabra<\/strong>
\n3 Sonatas<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(for solo guitar)
\nLes Productions D’Oz, 12 pp.<\/p>\n

Arranged by Daniel Marx, these three short sonatas (nos. 107, 108, and 112) by 18th century Spanish composer Blasco de Nebra (1750\u20131784) were originally written for keyboard “and I have tried to remain as close as possible to the original version,” Marx writes, favoring the harpsichord model for his approach to effects: “This has its results especially in fingerings and the notated ornaments.” Style is somewhere between Baroque and Classical. Intermediate.<\/p>\n

\"wernicke\"
\nCarlos Wernicke<\/strong>
\nPartita Porte\u00f1a<\/a><\/em> (for two guitars)
\nLes Productions D’Oz, 24 pp. plus parts<\/p>\n

Written for Wernicke’s duo with fellow Argentine composer\/guitarist M\u00e1ximo\u00a0Pujol, this five-part work is, the composer says, “a collection of dances in the style of a Baroque partita<\/em>, though it is formed by the typical dances of Buenos Aires: vals<\/em>, milonga campera<\/em>, tango<\/em>, milonga<\/em>, and the final<\/em>, which serves as the epilogue.” If this opening\u00a0waltz movement below, “Un Vals Tres,” is any indication, it’s a wonderful piece of work! Advanced.
