Complete solo works for guitar El maestro(1536) 1
Luis Milan's volume entitled "El Maestro (Valencia, 1536)" was originally a tablature collection containing both solo pieces for the vihuela ( a guitar-shaped instrument with six pairs of strings) as well as Italian, Spanish and Portuguese songs with vihuela accompaniment. The composer divided his book into two parts: the first featuring technically easier works, the second including more difficult ones. This format has been retained in this edition, which contains every solo piece in the original collection in standard notation for the modern guitar with the 3rd string tuned to F#. In this transcription all the rhythmic values have been reduced to half of their original values, while the barlines (whose meaning in the 16th century differed somewhat from that of today) have been left in their original positions. 72 pages. Overall Difficulty: Intermediate.
