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 per se (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

\nMario Castelnuovo-Tedesco<\/strong>
\nSonatina Canonica<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(for two guitars)
\nEditions Max Eschig, 16 pp. plus parts<\/p>\n

This wonderful and melodious piece was written in 1961 for the legendary Presti-Lagoya Duo. According to the accompanying notes by editor Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Zigante in this new edition, Italian composer Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895\u20131968) described it as a “small, unpretentious work” (complete performances usually run a little over ten minutes), and Zigante further posits the notion that many of Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s works were “powerfully imbued with the spirit” of the great Baroque Neapolitan composer Domenico Scarlatti. Certainly that can be heard in some sections of this three-part piece. Apparently, Alexandre Lagoya made a number of changes to the original score; this Eschig edition is “the score as it was written by the composer without any revision, carefully preserving all the many signs of articulation (slurs, dots, and dashes) found in the original heliographs of the manuscript found in the Ida Presti and Alexandre Lagoya family archives.” Advanced.<\/p>\n

Below, Spain’s Duo L’Encouragement (Pablo Rioja and Herminia Navarro) perform the entire piece, though this is not specifically the original Eschig edition, so there are likely differences. Still, it gives a good sense of the overall work:<\/em><\/p>\n
