Pro Musica Nova: guitarra

Studies for Playing Contemporary Music for Guitar

Guitarists who have not yet ventured forth into the world of “contemporary music” for their instrument can now prove their mettle with the help of a competent guide. The guitarist Wilhelm Bruck has made a name for himself with his interpretations and dissemination of the most difficult scores. Bruck has compiled this volume with extraordinary insightfulness and provided in-depth comments on the pieces selected. Several of the pieces were composed especially for this collection, and are thus being published here for the first time. The pieces by Michael Gielen and Dieter Schnebel had previously been accessible only as parts of larger works. These demanding solo parts now become easily available to guitarists for the first time in this volume.
