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 occasionally write about classical-guitar album releases regularly in this online space, we also occasionally announce recent 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\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\nJoseph Haydn<\/strong>
\nSonata in D major<\/strong>\u00a0Hob. XVI: 37<\/strong> (for flute and guitar)<\/a>
\nDoblinger, 16 pp., combined parts plus flute part<\/p>\n

This is the most recent published arrangement by Hungary’s\u00a0Classical Flute and Guitar Project<\/a>\u2014flautist No\u00e9mi Gy\u0151ri and guitarist Katalin Koltai\u2014and like their take on Mozart’s\u00a0<\/strong>Fantasy in D minor KV 397<\/em><\/a>, it is wonderful and spirited pieces that is sure to challenge and delight duos who take it on. As\u00a0Gy\u0151ri writes in the accompanying notes, the piece “was composed in\u00a0 1780 for the notable pianist sisters Caterina and Marianna van Auenbrugger. With it flawless virtuosity and and myriad humorous moments, the D major Sonata is among the most spectacular, and [also] one of the most popular keyboard works.” Indeed, it’s “Allegro con brio,” played below, is rightly famous. The arrangement provides many opportunities for each instrument, and the combination here is positively intoxicating! Advanced.<\/p>\n
