下面是其中两页范例：Menuetto





This beautiful piece is an example of Mozart's purest classical style, composed in Vienna around 1783. It was originally written for three wind instruments as "Divertimenti for Two Clarinets and Bassoon". It was published as a transcription for piano in the early 1800's and called "Viennese Sonatinas".

James Edwards改编的。该演奏家介绍：

Classical guitarist James Edwards has been a performer, teacher, and recording artist for over 25 years. James plays contemporary guitars, as well as historical instruments of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, such as the five-course guitar and ten course lute.

The five course guitar has 9 strings, as 4 of the "courses" are pairs of the same string, with the highest string being the only string that is not a doubled pair. The repertoire for the 5 course baroque guitar is quite different from the contemporary guitar repertoire, and has a closer parentage to 6 course lute and vihuela music.

James Edwards' has released ten CDs in his career, as well as several guitar music books published by Mel Bay Publishing.

From Gaspar Sanz' "MUSICAL INSTRUCTION ON THE SPANISH GUITAR" published in 1674 :
The Italians, French, and people of other nations classify the guitar as Spanish. The reason is that in ancient times it used to have no more than four strings, and then in Madrid, Maestro Espinel, a Spaniard, added a fifth to it, and thereby its perfection was attained. The French, Italians, and people of other nations, in imitation of us, also added the fifth course to their guitar, and therefore they call it the "Spanish guitar".

Others have discussed the perfection of this instrument, some saying that the guitar is a perfect instrument, and others that it is not. I take the middle way, and declare that it is neither perfect, nor imperfect, but what you make it, since the fault or imperfection is in him who plays it and not in the instrument itself; for on one single string without frets I have seen many feats performed for which others would require the registers of an organ. Therefore, each player must make the guitar either good or bad, since it is like a lady, but to whom the saying "look at me but do not touch me" does not apply, and its rose is quite different from a real rose, since it will not wither however much it is touched with the hands, and moreover, if it is plucked by the hands of a skilled master, it will produce in them an ever-new bouquet which delight the ear with their sonorous fragrances.

介绍：
I began arranging arias for guitar after accompanying vocalists who introduced me to opera music, and I found myself falling in love with these beautiful melodies. While most of the selections on this recording are solo songs from operas, several fall under a wider definition of aria: an instrumental piece of song-like character.

      In 1992, "0 Mio Babbino Caro" became my first arrangement, inspired by my  memory of Stuart Paine (a talented guitarist and arranger from Washington, D.C.) performing his rendition at a Christopher Parkening masterclass in 1980. I had studied mostly guitar and keyboard literature, and these songs were new to me -- I was surprised at how enthusiastically they were received. It seemed everyone knew these tunes except me!

      A tremendous body of beautiful music from operas exists, and most guitarists (including myself) have yet to explore it. I hope my efforts will entertain the opera-lover and introduce this rich repertoire to a new audience. - James Edwards
