Scarlatti and Weiss for Guitar

Six pieces from these Baroque composers. The two sonatas by Scarlatti in E minor and E major work well together. Lily Afshar's arrangement of Sonata K. 11 (a favorite of Segovia) utilizes staccato articulation reminiscent of the harpsichord and other techniques including cross-string trills and minimal slurs. The four pieces by Weiss showcase his beautiful polyphony and fantastical writing. Afshar utilizes campanella (cross-string) fingerings throughout to emphasize the musical line and produce a fuller sound on the instrument. Notation only. 32 pp.
