Foreword
The Progressive Popular Classics series provides the beginner-to-intermediate classical guitarist with well-loved music that is as enjoyable to listen to as it is to play.
Students will benefit greatly by the inclusion of these pieces in their repertoire, because each piece is well known and therefore easier to grasp. Another important benefit is that the student will acquire an excellent general knowledge of music outside the normal guitar repertoire which will stand them in good stead for later study.
Volume 1 features popular pieces from composers including Beethoven, Mozart, Dvorak, Grieg, Mendelssohn, Bach, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Strauss, presented clearly and concisely with appropriate fingering, articulation and expression.
Technical Note
- Fingering is included for all pieces only once and not again for repeated passages.
- Dynamics and tempo markings have been omitted to allow the player to use his/her own ideas based on the general "feel" of the music.
