Product Description
This second comprehensive volume on the life and work of Andres Segovia contains a biography of the years 1958-87 and focuses on Segovia's rendition of Spanish/ Romantic and Contemporary/Neo-Classical masterpieces by Tarrega, Albeniz, Granados, Llobet, and Ponce. A special appendix in each volume presents the original scores for the Segovia editions discussed in the text- some of which have never been published-as well as modern editions of these pieces.
