Dodici studi brillanti

Angelo Gilardino (Vercelli, Italy, 1941) is one of the most important contemporary composers of guitar music. Famous all over the world for his collection of 60 Studi di virtuosità e di trascendenza, he has written solo guitar music (Sonatas and Variations), Concertos for guitar groups, Concertos for guitar and orchestra and a remarkable amount of chamber music works where the guitar has a major role as a concertante instrument.

This collection follows the path set out by previous Easy studies, taking it deeper and further. Each piece, coming with fingerings and notes on performance, provides guitar students with the opportunity to explore the instrument’s expressive subtleties, and professionals with inspiring hints on interpretation.
