The Guitar Transcriptions of Francisco Tarrega

This publication presents a lightly modernized, fully corrected, reliable edition of Francisco Tárrega’s more idiomatic transcriptions and arrangements for the classic guitar. Tárrega, who was also an able pianist, chose works by diverse composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, and Robert Schumann to arrange for his own guitar performances, greatly expanding the concert guitar repertoire of his time.This publication provides today’s players with a dependable edition of these works that can be seamlessly incorporated into any modern concert program. Written in standard notation only for the intermediate to advanced guitarist, this collection features pieces that were less commonly heard on the guitar and sound remarkably fresh to this day.
