David Nadal has put together a volume of high quality music for the classical guitar. Included are standard pieces, but also some rarely published gems- my favorite among them being his impressive transcription of a Vivaldi Violin Concerto for solo guitar. This piece alone is well worth the money!

This is a must-have for classical guitarists. There are advanced, standard-repertoire pieces suitable for performance as well as approachable pieces for study - all spanning from the Medieval to the Romantic era. Best of all, the editing and fingerings make the music approachable every level of ability. It does not get better than this.

I've had this book for ten years or more and it is always one that I grab off the shelf for enjoyable playing. This is really a very fine collection of pieces for classical guitar, some of which are not easily found elsewhere (like Giuliani's gorgeous "La Rose" which I've only seen in one other collection). Well edited, good construction, good wearability, this book will last you for years and is worth three times the asking price. 100% recommended!

Albeniz, Bach, Sor, Giuliani, Scarlatti, the big names are all there, plus many many others -- for ten dollars! A guitarist need know all the material in this book alone and be a world-class virtuoso -- all for 10 dollars! This really is the one book a classical guitarist needs for performance or practice material -- and it is only 10 dollars!
