MATTEO CARCASSI

25 ETUDES FOR GUITAR, OPUS 60

Guitar Music Book

This set of 25 etudes is perhaps Carcassi's most famous work and has been known to generations of guitarists.  This is a new complete definitive edition established from the original source, with only the original fingering; no new fingering has been added. Notes on technique and interpretation are provided.

Why should I use this edition rather than any other? - Because this Tecla edition of the Carcassi Etudes establishes a new and fully reliable text, fully practical, with comments on every piece, at a very reasonable price, easily available with low postage worldwide. These Etudes were originally published only after Carcassi's death in 1853 and the only known original editions contain many problems in the text. This edition examines those problems and finds solutions.
