Francisco Tarrega: Preludes

This unique series features a collection of the most famous pieces from the classical guitar repertoire, and includes music scores, tablature and accompanying video. Great care has been taken to verify the fingerings of both hands in the material. Innovative tablature combines left-hand finger positions with rhythmic notation, allowing the reader to tackle very complex musical repertoire and polyphony. Therefore, this system provides an opportunity for anyone to learn pieces from these great composers, regardless of reading ability. Francisco Tarrega is viewed by many as the father of modern classical guitar, from both technical and compositional stand points. He transformed and expanded classical guitar repertoire and its technical palette, helping to evolve guitar music of the nineteenth century. The collection of preludes in this volume represents some of the most important work by Tarrega, and displays the beauty and style of his compositions.
