Six Exercices, Op. 27
[Studies]
We proudly present this new modern critical edition of Antoine de Lhoyer's Six Exercices, op. 27, originally published in Paris around 1812. Originally written for the 5-string guitar, these exercises are remarkably advanced for their time and well worth playing; the rapid arpeggio patterns and bold harmonic shifts in some of them may even be reminiscent of Villa-Lobos.
The Six Exercices op. 27 were arranged by Giuliani and published about 7 years later under his name as Six Preludes op. 83. The exercises were originally written for the 5-string guitar. We have included alternative readings for using the 6th string, a common publishing practice of the time. The music was edited and fingered by Erik Stenstadvold, an expert on the early 19th century guitar repertoire. There is also an informative foreword with detailed biographical information and critical comments.
