Published by Silver Sickle Publications (A0.942091). Etudes for Solo GuitarThe subject of creating an educational aid for guitar  students of an intermediate level that will serve also as a similar aid for  theory and composition students fascinates me and motivates my compositional  thought for quite a while. The objective  was to create miniature complete works for the guitar, as J. S. Bach did with  his fifteen inventions, in the "manner" of an Étude that deals with specific  aspects of guitar techniques and musicianship in general. These Études  are gradually graded based on their difficulty and style. They cover all the positions  of the guitar and explore known and some unfamiliar techniques for the  contemporary guitarist. I used a compositional language more familiar for the level of  the intermediate guitarist but without sacrificing my original compositional  voice so these pieces could be used as concert works by the advanced musicians  as well. My intention is to educate students in a multilevel study environment  and to be able to promote the music of our time. During my teaching years I  found that students become better musicians when they have been taught to adapt  certain performance difficulties and compositional techniques at an earlier  level of their training.  Titles: 1 with false optimism 2 with moderate sadness 3 with just the two of you 4 with a touch of impatience 5 with a touch of grandeur 6 with a counterpoint attitude 7 with a touch of shame 8 with a touch of boredom 9 going and never coming back 10 with a peaceful anger 11 without the heavy ones 12 without hope 13 without sense of humor 14 with a masculine attitude 15 with two little bears in mind 16 without hesitation 17 with shameless vibrato 18 with a touch of distress 19 without fear of failure 20 with this and that 21 with a kind motion 22 with a rondo attitude 23 with suspense 24 with everything you may have This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
