Part two in a series of two books for the classical guitar. They have been compiled to improve sight reading, an often neglected aspect of musicianship. With the guitar, musical components (scales, chords, arpeggios etc), may often be played in various positions. While this is one of the reasons that the instrument produces such colourful and interesting timbres, it also contributes to the difficulty of sight reading. In spite of, or perhaps because of this, it is important to develop facility in reading, recognising the notes, as well as the bar positions in which to play them, the fingerings, the rhythmic patterns and any markings of interpretation (dynamics, phrasing, articulation etc). These books provide an orderley and systematic approach to the study of sight reading, based upon standards for sight reading for the classical guitar found in respected schools around the world. Students, even in the primary stages of studying the guitar should be encouraged to sight read as much material as possible.

The orchestrator says: Ever since I became acquainted with this Grand Sonata, I always considered it as a potential guitar concerto. Eventually the idea of orchestrating it, or simply remaking it as a concerto was born. Although on first glance the notion of basing the orchestration on the original accompanying violin part seems logical, soon I had to realize that this way was only partially valid. While the violin part in the original ensemble was charged with providing a dialog with the solo instrument, multiplying the character and tendency of single violin into a string orchestra form, would have easily overwhelmed the solo guitar... which anyway happens in practically every guitar concerto! Orienting my transformation of this Grand Sonata into a concerto on Paganini’s own violin concerti, seemed like a much more useful idea. Here the Genovese master himself showed us exactly how he imagined this genre, especially in the sense of enhancing the dominant role of the solo instrument. All things considered, this is how a guitar concerto by Paganini came to be. Generally speaking, the solo part is very little changed from the original Grand Sonata. This concerto should be immediately accessible to any guitarist who ever played the original Grand Sonata. All that needs to be learned anew are the several cadenzas and the new minor variation in the last movement. The orchestral parts are relatively easy to play, which has the advantage that this work can be performed with student string orchestras (also string quartets) or amateur groups. With this concerto the guitarist gets a real alternative to the comparable concerti by Giuliani, Molino, Carulli etc.
