Ce recueil est une illustration musicale de la fresque romanesque «Don Quichotte».
J'ai souhaité dépeindre sous forme de tableaux les personnages principaux du fameux roman de Cervantès.
Ainsi, cette suite en Si mineur, composée de quatre pièces variées en duo est proposée pour guitare et instruments mélodiques (flûte, violon, guitare etc.).
Laurent Méneret
This is an agreeable and amusing little offering ideally suited towards the grade 2-3 players; the melodic line could be recorder, violin, even a vocalise, but obviously could also be played on guitar and would be a good introduction for the lower grade player into the art of phrasing as well as moving higher up the fingerboard.
There are four sections to this work titled Sancho, El Caballero, Dulcinée and Rossinante, all drawing from the tale of the classical literary work of “Don Quixote”.
The music is very agreeable with some nice tunes along the way and quite descriptive in parts (one can almost hear the clopping of the hooves of Sancho’s donkey in the first movement).
Quite fun to play and an excellent addition to the lower grade student repertoire.
The piece is presented in score-only but there are no page turns involved.
