25 Etudes Esquisses for Guitar by Gerald Garcia. For Guitar (Classical). Solos. Classic. Intermediate. Book. 60 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.95430).

ISBN 9780786604074. Classic. 8.5x11 inches.

This collection of classic guitar studies is intended for the intermediate guitarist. As a whole, these etudes emulate the content of Carcassi's famed 25 Etudes, yet in a more contemporary harmonic and rhythmic idiom. These pieces are also distinguished in that they are not only valuable as left and right-hand technical exercises- but also as valid, pleasurable concert repertoire. The first ten etudes 11-20 focus on the use of the a finger in combination with i and m. Etudes 4,7,11,13,15, and 17 also concentrate on left-hand slurs. The final five etudes were composed as - and intended to be performed- as a set with each piece dedicated to a particular Latin American composer.

A combination of Brouwer 20 Exercises and a modernized Carcassi Op. 60. Lots of odd time signatures. Fun to play.

Hi! I am an intermediate classical guitarist currently studying these pieces. They are intermediate to advanced in difficulty and have many varying rythmns and modern techniques-Many of the pieces are reminiscent in sound to Leo Brouwers-etudes simples...The pieces are challenging to say the least! but they are worthwhile and should...
