This collection of 57 short pieces explores the essential musical and technical elements of modern classical guitar playing. Building on the centuries-old style of music written for the guitar, Neal Fitzpatrick adds a contemporary 21st-century twist to this rich tradition.The author writes, When composing music for any instrument, it is essential to consider the unique features of that instrument. These graded, progressive pieces explore the sonic qualities of the classical guitar that make it such a rewarding instrument to play.The author's goal in writing this supplementary collection is to express himself in the universal language of music, but in a way that is best stated through the voice of the classical guitar. Written in standard notation primarily in idiomatic, guitar-friendly keys, all compositions in this book are available as online recordings and suitable for recital performance.
