Degli Allievi is a collection of pieces dedicated to my students. Nevertheless, these pieces were not conceived as etudes nor do they have any special pedagogical plan. In fact, I am very thankful to my students since they both gave me a reason to compose this work and, at the same time, also served as a source of inspiration for each work in the collection. 

The various works in this collection were conceived for the individual personalities of my students, although not always with their technical abilities in mind, since, in some cases, the technical demands of the music are beyond their current level. My goal was to make a contribution to my students’ guitar repertoire and, at the same time, for other guitar students and professionals as well. 

Into Degli Allievi I put all my love for the guitar and for music in general, by concentrating on both the expression and the formal structure while attempting to write gratifying works for the guitar which are well-suited to the possibilities of the instrument. 

The difficulty of the pieces ranges from the simple to medium difficult –Imprevist– leading up to works appropriate for the fifth or sixth level –Fantasia in arpeggio, Rondó and Roll en Re, Sul il “Canarios” e altri. In some pieces, such as Almost ein Waltzer, I tried to bring out a sense of humor. In others, such as Rondó and Roll en Re, the music is more relaxed with constant changes of time signature. The expression of the melodic line is emphasized in the center sections of Rondó and Roll en Re, also in the works Laura, Paula or Balada (based on my work of the same name, Microscòpic for two guitars. Fantasia in arpeggio as well as Rondó and Roll en Re include exotic atmospheres and contrats. While, Imprevist contains technical requirements which are surprising at this level. 

One of the pieces of the collection, Sul il “Canarios” e altri contains quotes from other works, including motives from Canarios by Gaspar Sanz, from ¡Anda jaleo! by Federico García Lorca, as well as brief quotation from Fantasía que contrahaze la harpa en la manera de Ludovico by Mudarra and also from the Concierto de Aranjuez, by Joaquín Rodrigo.

However, I want to emphasize that all of these compositional techniques are secondary to the musical expression which is always the most important aspect of music. And, also, my goal to create works that are pleasing to my students and are also enjoyable to play. 

From what I have observed with my students, I believe that I have achieved my goal.
