A large collection of pieces for guitar – carefully selected by Frédéric Zigante – that combines some of the best-loved and most often performed composers for guitar (Brouwer, Pujol, Tansman and Villa Lobos) with several lesser known composers fromthe 20th Century, but equally characteristic and full of clever solutions. An excellent book for intermediate/advanced Conservatoire students.
