Gaspar Sanz Collection Volume 1 (PDF)

Gaspar Sanz Collection Volume 1 - PDF Sheet Music for Classical Guitar. Comes with both a notation edition with left hand fingering and a separate tab edition. This is a PDF Download. Level: Intermediate Grades 3-7.

For the first volume I've included the original Gaspar Sanz works that inspired Rodrigo's famous concerto: Villanos, Fuga, Españoletas, La Cavalleria de Nápoles con dos Clarines, Las Hachas, and Canarios.

These popular works by Gaspar Sanz (1640-1710) originate from his Instrucción de música sobre la Guitarra Española for Baroque guitar. In 1954 Joaquín Rodrigo composed his guitar concerto Fantasía para un gentilhombre on themes from these works. A degree of arranging for modern guitar has taken place, including adding the sixth string of the modern guitar to complete logical musical lines.
