My First Concert - 44 Easy Guitar Pieces from 5 Centuries

To every young musician, the first concert is a special experience. It is a motivation to study the instrument and its music even further. A suitable selection of technically and musically manageable pieces is an important prerequisite for first successes. For this reason, 44 well-known and easy solo pieces have been selected which have proven successful in lessons and at the competition 'Jugend musiziert'. The selection of the mostly original works has been arranged according to epochs, thus providing a small overview of the history of guitar and lute music from John Dowland via Gaspar Sanz to Leo Brouwer.
