In compiling this landmark sourcebook, Finnish guitarists Hannu Annala and Heiki Matlik consulted more than 70 music texts as well as dozens of composer resumes acquired from the musical information centers of several countries.

Throughout the western classical tradition, composers have influenced and been influenced by their students and teachers. Many musicians frequently add to their personal acclaim by naming their teachers and the lineage through which they were taught. Until now, the relationships between composers have remained uncataloged and understudied, but with enough research, it is possible to document entire schools of composition. Composer Genealogies: A Compendium of Composers, Their Teachers, and Their Students is the first volume to gather the genealogies of more than seventeen thousand classical composers in a single volume. Functioning as its own fully cross-referenced index, this volume lists composers and their dates, followed by their teachers and notable students. A short introduction presents the parameters by which composers were selected and provides a survey of the literature available for further study. Gathering records and information from reference books, university websites, obituaries, articles, composers’ websites, and even direct contact with some composers, Pfitzinger creates a valuable resource for music researchers, composers, and performers.

Michele Masin ha approfondito l'argomento della trascrizione durante gli studi musicali per poi dedicarsi alla creazioni di Volumi Musicali interamente legati al mondo chitarristico-trascrittivo. La trascrizione è concepita da Masin come un mezzo inteminabile di ricchezza strumentistica in cui attingere per elevare la chitarra stessa. Nel seguente metodo saranno analizzati tutti i parametri trascrittivi rilevanti; dall'arminia al timbro, dalle finalità trascrittive alle differenti opzioni di scordatura, dal repertorio trascrittivo storico all'analisi del materiale musicale. Ogni capitolo è accompagnato da elementi scientifici d'analisi trascrittiva su cui basare un lavoro strutturato ed efficiente. Il seguente metodo è il primo libro di trascrizione chitarristica nella storia di questo strumeto, l'analisi all'interno di esso è basata sui lavori di trascrizione provenienti della letteratura chitarristica e sulla conoscenza compositiva dell'Autore di questo metodo.
