Classical music

When I started playing the guitar it was with pieces like Sor's. Later on Bach's music was within reach. So here is a (very) little sample of the pieces I was brought up with in my guitar life, together with some more recently discovered pieces and my own arrangements.

Ich Ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ BWV 639 - J.S. Bach

added: 20-01-2011

Arrangement by K. Struck.

Allemande BWV1013 - J.S. Bach

added: 08-11-2010

This is the first part of the partita for flute. Originally it is in A minor, but I changed it to E minor. The sarabande is near the end of this page, but that one is still in A-minor. score

Valse no. 7 - M. Carcassi

added: 25-08-2010

From Carcassi's 50 morceaux methodiques et progressifs

Habanera - A. Cottin

added: 18-08-2010

Cottin was a french guitarist/composer, to whom Tarrega dedicated his "Recuerdos de Alhambra". The music of this piece is in the Statens musikbibliotek (The Music Library of Sweden). score

Andantino op.51 no.4 - N. Coste

added: 13-06-2010

According to the score of this piece the low E-string should be changed to D. There are some E's in the score that can not be played when the string is changed. Because of this I did not play any of the low D's.
Complete Opus 51 on the Danish Royal Library

I'm told that the low D's were played on a seventh string (in D) on Coste's guitar. (thanks, Bernhard)

Lascia Ch'io Pianga - G.F. Händel

added:18-05-2010

The sheet music of this piece is not in print anymore, so I think I can make it available here on the site. I have made a few changes compared to the original arrangement. pdf
Arrangement by S. Ranieri
Edition Cranz A.C.48354

Etude Opus 10 No. 3 - F. Chopin

added: 10-05-2010

Arrangement by S. Ranieri

Morceau no. 5 - M. Carcassi

added: 10-05-2010

From Carcassi's 50 morceaux methodiques et progressifs

Etude opus 35 no. 18 - F. Sor

added: 25-01-2010

The first part of the score is what you'll hear in the mp3. The other 3 pages are variations I have written. score

Barcarolle Opus 51 no.1 - N. Coste

added: 30-11-2009

The score for this piece can be found on Delcamp.net.

Prelude in D minor - F. Campion

Andante - F. Sor

added: 27-2-2009

Soneto 1 - E. de Valderrabano

added: 27-2-2009

Soneto 2 - E. de Valderrabano

added: 27-2-2009

Prelude BWV859 - J.S. Bach

Someone asked me if I ever made some arrangements for 2 guitars of Bach's music. I didn't, but it made me listen if there was anything I could transcribe. This one, no. 14 from "The Well Tempered Clavier", seemed to be easily adaptable. score

Julia Florida - A. Barrios Mangore

Should this piece be in the Latin or Classical section? Although written by a composer from Paraguay, the style is more classical than latin, so I placed it here.

Adagio KV356 - W.A. Mozart

Adagio for Glass harmonica. It's still in the same key as the original. I only needed to delete very few notes to make it playable on guitar. score

O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden - J.S. Bach

One of the chorals from the "Matthaus Passion", BWV244. I reworked the score with lilypond, so it may not be the same as the tablature. score / tab

Sarabande - J.S. Bach

This is the Sarabande from "Partita for Flute solo", BWV 1013. Here on classical guitar, of course. score

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - F. Mendelsohn

Music for Christmas. I've deleted the MP3, but the score is still here. score
