GSP Llobet Guitar Works Volume 4 - Transcriptions I Guitar Solo Publications

Details

BACH - MOZART - BEETHOVEN - WAGNER

In contrast to Llobet´s output of just 14 original works, his transcriptions for guitar number 118, a considerable quantity of an extremely high standard. These were a huge influence on the two generations of guitarists following Llobet some of whom mercilessly and anymously plundered and disfigured them for their own use!

Being also an accomplished pianist, Llobet was in a better position than any other of his contemporaries to transcribe the German Romantic Masters, as well as the piano music of Albéniz and Granados i.a.

Transcribed by Llobet mainly during his formative years these transcriptions are masterpieces which transcend their original setting.

In his early career, Segovia played many transcriptions of Llobet, eg Bach's Prélude in Dm, Sarabande, Bourrée, Gavotte.

Miguel Llobet (1878-1938)
Llobet’s life-span is almost exactly one century later than his compatriot Fernando Sor, prompting the Italian guitarist and researcher Stefano Grondona to name Sor and Llobet a “Catalonian Binomial”. Both figures are clearly very different from their respective contemporaries. Llobet’s output of only 14 original works is heavily outnumbered by his 118 innovative transcriptions and adaptations for guitar, guitar duo, and guitar ensemble. He was a revolutionary but modest man with a deep respect for the past, who forged the way for the guitar into the 20th century. As the only virtuoso pupil of Tárrega, his destiny was to be a key link between the guitar’s past and its future - his influence was immense; wherever he went he changed the way the guitar was played and perceived. He continued his leading role in the development of the guitar into the first three decades of the 20th century and was hugely influential in the development of Andrés Segovia.
