Instrumental Duet Guitar,Instrumental Duet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.540177 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Pedro Nunes. Baroque. Score and parts. 7 pages. Pedro Nunes #150317. Published by Pedro Nunes (A0.540177). The earliest known surviving manuscript of Alessandro Marcello’s Oboe concerto in D minor exists not as a score from the composer’s own hand, but as an arrangement for solo keyboard by contemporary J.S. Bach. This arrangement, dating from 1713-1714, is part of a collection of works entitled 16 Konzerte nach verschiedenen Meistern, BWV 972–987 (16 concerts according to different masters). It is Bach’s arrangement on which this duo version for guitar is heavily based. Bach discovered this concerto and other works by Italian masters while under the employment of Duke Wilhelm Ernst in Weimar.. The musical library of the ducal court was rich with orchestral works by Vivaldi, Corelli, Torelli, Frescobaldi and of course Marcello (both Benedetto and Alessandro). Bach saw this as an opportunity to learn about the Italian style, and proceeded to arrange sixteen of these concerti for solo harpsichord. Texturally, Bach would mimic the alternating tutti and solo sections by assigning them to different manuals of the harpsichord. Twenty years later, Bach would compose his own “Italian Concerto� BWV 971, for solo keyboard, which remains as one of his most recognizable works. The Marcello concerto is in typical 3 movement form: Andante e spiccato, Adagio, and Presto. For this arrangement, single-string fingerings of melodic passages were favoured for the first movement, for the sake of articulation and uniformity of the line. Also, the melodic material is passed between both guitars to achieve a more concertante setting and to enhance passages with repeated material. The second movement maintains a soloist/accompanist setting throughout. Although it was tempting to use both guitars to fill out the harmony of the opening and closing sections, the performance proved to be more effective with one guitarist able to solely concentrate on the famous melody. The final movement, like the first, divides the melodic material between both guitars in order to give both players interesting material and to give the first guitar a bit of breathing room.

Guitar duet - Intermediate - Digital Download SKU: ZZ.DZ-4258 Composed by Edvard Grieg. Arranged by Chris Dumigan. Score and parts. 40 pages. Les Productions d'OZ - Digital #DZ 4258. Published by Les Productions d'OZ - Digital (ZZ.DZ-4258). Four Album Leaves, Op. 28 is a set of pieces for piano solo composed by Edvard Grieg. The set was first published in 1878 in Leipzig by C.F. Peters. The Album Leaves were composed over the span of almost fifteen years. As such, they present a fascinating cross-section of Grieg's pianistic and compositional development. They are arranged in chronological order as follows: Allegro con moto (1864), Allegretto espressivo (1874), Vivace (1876), and Andantino serioso (1878).Having realized some years ago that due to Grieg’s way of writing for the piano, that they would fit wonderfully on two guitars, I began with this set, and then moved onto more of his works, finally transcribing his complete set of 10 books of Lyric Pieces (66 pieces in all), all of which are available as separate publications at Les Productions D’Oz. I hope you enjoy playing them as much as I, and my duet partner Ann, do.Quatre feuilles d'album, op. 28 est un ensemble de pièces pour piano seul composé par Edvard Grieg. L'ensemble a été publié pour la première fois en 1878 à Leipzig par C.F. Pierre. L’album Leaves a été composé sur une période de près de quinze ans. En tant que tels, ils présentent un aperçu fascinant du développement pianistique et compositionnel de Grieg. Ils sont classés par ordre chronologique comme suit : Allegro con moto (1864), Allegretto espressivo (1874), Vivace (1876) et Andantino serioso (1878).Ayant réalisé il y a quelques années qu'en raison de la manière d'écrire de Grieg pour le piano, elles s'adapteraient à merveille à deux guitares, j'ai commencé avec cet ensemble, puis je suis passé à d'autres de ses œuvres, pour finalement transcrire sa série complète de 10 recueils de paroles. Pièces (66 pièces au total), toutes disponibles sous forme de publications séparées aux Productions D'Oz. J'espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir à les jouer que moi et ma partenaire Ann, en duo.
