From the Baroque, Classical and Romantic Periods – in Standard Notation and Tablature
With Klassik Hits (Classical Hits), guitarists of all styles can discover the timeless masterpieces of the great composers. This collection features 11 of the most beautiful and best-known works by Bach, Beethoven, Schumann and others, arranged for guitar. The arrangements preserve the character of the original compositions as faithfully as possible.
Compared with Volume 1 (publisher’s catalogue no. 2490), the technical demands are slightly higher. Playing in different positions and the use of barre technique feature prominently throughout the collection.
This collection brings together pieces you have always wanted to play but have found difficult to find in suitable guitar arrangements.
