All of the compositions in this excellent collection were originally written for guitar. There is music covering the broadest stylistic range, offering repertoire that will interest adults as well as younger guitarists. Some of the pieces have been published for the first time since the 18th and 19th century; others have never been published before. Notes on performance practice are included throughout the book to help students to develop an awareness of musical style.
