His Rest

"Studies at dusk" is a collection of seven short original pieces for two guitars which is intended for students who are approaching and establishing the intermediate level of playing. They are directed by two main concerns, that of rhythm and technique. Thus, each piece introduces a new note value and concentrates on asoects of technique which are basic (such as rest stroke and scales) or others that are normally reserved for more advanced pieces (such as harmonics, tambour and pizzicato).

Mozart, born in Salzburg in 1756, was a child prodigy. By the age of five he was playing complete, pieces on the harpsichord, and was experimenting with the violin and with compositions; while still a child he won acclaim in courts and capitals throughout Europe. He spent much of the rest of his short life trying to earn enough to make his mark in society, performing his own piano concertos to the fickle Vienna public, and composing prolifically in almost every genre.

The "Three Elegiac Melodies" for two guitars lend themselves to the expressive qualiies of the instrument, with melodic and textural interest divided equally between the parts. Whilst not presenting undue technical problems, performing the pieces will help players develop a sensitivity to balance and ensemble and players may gain extra insight and enjoyment by learning both parts.
