Thank you for visiting my site. Please check back as I update the sight regularly with upcoming events, new transcriptions (free download), mp3s and videos.
Soon to be completed is a set of pieces from Robert Schumann’s Album for the Young, Op. 68. There will be 5-6 short pieces transcribed for solo guitar. These pieces were composed for his children while Schumann was in Dresden around 1848. At this time he was completely insane yet he churned these charming pieces. Each one poses a child-like innocence underpinned with haunting beauty that seems quite mature for pieces written for children.
As a pedagogical work these pieces have remained in use and part of the piano repertoire for children ever since their first publication mid 19th century.
The textural simplicity of the pieces allow the music to lend itself quite readily for the classic guitar.
Please check back soon for free pdf’s of my transcriptions!
