 A Guitar Music Clarification

 

By GIL PIGER

 

In my thirty some years of teaching and performing I have encountered a

plethora of guitar related misinformation.  Segovia himself was responsible for much of this misinformation.  He would edit pieces and then turn then over for print sometimes with wrong notes, added or missing, as well as fingerings.  He would do this so he could say, “he was the only one who played it correctly”.   An example of this is in “Pieces caracteristiques” [character pieces] by Torroba.  When Segovia recorded these pieces he added and deleted what should or shouldn’t be there.  Prime example of this is the 3rd of this set of 6 pieces.  In the published version G.A. 133, the 3rd piece is printed as “melodia” a slow tremolo piece.

This piece doesn’t even belong to this set, whereas the ‘old man’ as we used to call him, plays instead “Cancion” which is in actually “Burgalesa” G.A. 113.   However “Burgalesa” is published in the key of F#, whereas  “Cancion” is in the key of E.

 

 

 

Here is the correct version in the key of E.

 

 

 

If anyone wishes the complete piece or more information on this whole set, then you will have to take a lesson from me.
