Four Pieces for Guitar, No. 1

This is one of a set of Four Pieces I wrote last year. The score will be available again eventually, I just need to do some editing and clean up the formatting.

    Hey, sounds neat! Reminds me of a piece I wrote. Will the others be up soon?

    Interesting stuff Chris!

    The slurs are interesting.

    slurs… slurs…

    To drift off a bit:
    It reminded me a bit (just a bit) of a slur-study that I was looking at a while back:
    http://www.alanthomas-guitar.com/new_mp3/Etude_2_Kleptomaniac.mp3

    Some very interesting textures are created with the slurs. (The sheetmusic for Kleptomaniac is available from Alan Thomas’ website – part of his “Etudes, Book 1″!)

    And Alan’s composition reminds me of Brouwer’s “La Espiral Eterna”

    (here played by Brouwer himself!) – a work on which Eduardo Fernandez wrote a brief article: http://seiscuerdas.com/fernandez/?Articles

    Hi Chris!

    Just stumbled upon the newly discovered “12 studies for the guitar” by the English impressionist-composer Allan Willcocks (1869-1956).

    Hoppstock has published them, under his PRIM publishing house. Taking about Hoppstock: check out his new analysis books on Bach – they are THE reference.
