A Concise History of the Classic Guitar by Graham Wade, one of the foremost international writers on the guitar, explores the history of the instrument from the 16th century to the present day. This compact assessment of five centuries of fretted instruments cover the vihuela in Spain, the history of four-course and five-course guitars, the evolution of tablature, and developments in the six-string guitar in the 19th century. the work also charts the contribution of leading composers, performers and luthiers of the 20th century, and evaluates the influence of Segovia, Llobet, Pujol, Presti, Bream, Williams, etc., among the world's famous guitarists.

The Great Vogue for the Guitar in Western Europe
The first book devoted to the composers, instrument makers and amateur players who advanced the great guitar vouge throughout Western Europe during the early decades of the nineteenth century.Contemporary critics viewed the fashion for the guitar with sheer hostility, seeing in it a rejection of true musical value. After all, such trends advanced against the grain of mainstream musical developments of ground-breaking (often Austro-German) repertoire for standard instruments. Yet amateur musicians throughout Europe persisted; many instruments were built to meet the demand, a substantial volume of music was published for amateurs to play, and soloist-composers moved freely between European cit...
Narrative and Robert Schumann's Songs
Featuring 28 music examples this book takes an innovative approach to analyzing and interpreting nineteenth-century German song, offering new perspectives on Robert Schumann's Lieder and song cycles. Robert Schumann's Lieder are among the richest and most complex songs in the repertoire and have long raised questions and stimulated discussion among scholars, performers, and listeners. Among the wide range of methodologies that have been used to understand and interpret his songs, one that has been conspicuously absent is an approach based on narratology (the theory and study of narrative texts). Proceeding from the premise that the performance of a Lied is a narrative act, in which the singe...
Songs Without Words
Keyboard arrangements of vocal music flourished in England between1560 and 1760. Songs without Words, by noted harpsichordist and early-music authority Sandra Mangsen, is the first in-depth study of this topic, uncovering a body of material that is remarkably varied, musically interesting, and indicative of major trends in musical and social life at the time. Mangsen's Songs without Words argues that the pieces upon which these keyboard arrangements were based constituted a shared repertoire, akin to the jazz standards of the twentieth century. In Restoration England, the ballad tradition saw tunes and texts move between oral, manuscript, and printed transmission and from street to playhouse...

Arie a voce sola de diversi auttori (Venice, 1656)
This edition of Arie a voce sola de diversi auttori (Venice: Alessandro Vincenti, 1656), a collection of secular monodies for voice and basso continuo, complements the edition of the exactly contemporaneous sacred collection Sacra Corona (Venice: Francesco Magni, 1656), already published by the same editor (B189). It contains short arie by various authors, some of whom had also contributed to Sacra Corona (Barbara Strozzi, Francesco Cavalli, Pietro Ziani, Orazio Tarditi, and Maurizio Cazzati) and some of whom did not (Giovanni Battista Chinelli, Francesco Lucio, Luigi Pozzi, and Giovanni Battista Agnelletti). As in Sacra Corona, distinct Venetian and non-Venetian groups of composers can be i...
