Volume four of this series features music by Galileo, Milan, Logy, Bach, Sanz, Rameau, Giuliani, Sor, Tarrega, Coste, Carcassi and others and has moved up to Grade 5-6 standard....
....The inevitable Claude Gagnon is represented again, and once more comes up with the goods - two contemporary compositions, one lyrical and the other, titled Stress, an interesting study piece.
The first 'avant garde' work in this series appears in this volume. Triolet en mouvement by Denis Poliquin is a jerky, amusing study which requires very careful counting, but is worth the effort.
Once again there are some delightful pieces contained herein, ideal student material.
(Neil Smith, Classical Guitar)
These six volumes of progressive repertoire for classic guitar provide pieces that will please apprentice guitarists at both beginner and more advanced levels. The repertoire was chosen by a large number of Quebec teachers who have been working for many years at all levels of classic guitar instruction. Their precious help has brought quality, diversity and originality to this collection.
Each volume covers the principal periods of music history from the Renaissance to our own day. The best traditional repertoire is included as well as new arrangements and unpublished compositions.
Fingerings and other annotations should be considered as suggestions. The pieces have thus been left with the imprint of each collaborator, revealing their respective approaches to the music.
