"Song for Maggie" should be played with great expression and with care for delicacy; its light flavour is in keeping with Peter Stewart's work as a jazz guitarist in Glasgow. It is important to note the differences in metronome marking set by the composer, as these will help to establish the work's character.

Song for Maggie (Stewart Peter)

This arrangements in this book are intended to give additional, recreational work to those in the early stages of studying the guitar. Only easy keys are used, there are few accidentals, the rhythms are simple, and the left hand does not move away from the nut position: the harmonic language is traditional and such chords as are used are easy to play - they will be familiar to anyone who has worked through the customary, elementary pieces by Carcassi, Aguado and the like. For the most part, the music is in only two parts - the melody and a supproting bass.

Virtuoso Music for the Guitar is a series of new guitar transcriptions - some volumes contain new compositions, as well - by myself and by accomplished guitarists, composers, and other musicians known to me. I have edited and fingered each piece. Many of these pieces, in fact, I have recorded for Angel Records just as they appear here. The transcriptions represent beautiful music from all periods and styles, some of which has never before been transcribed for guitar. Every effort has been exerted to make each transcription as faithful to the original work as possible. No compromise has been made in requirements of technique. All these pieces are suitable for performance by the virtuoso guitarist.

Hommaeg a Aleksander Tansman powstał w 2006 roku i została dedykowany polskiej gitarzystce - Annie Pietrzak. Jest to jeden z pierwszych utworów Marka Pasiecznego, w którym nie pojawiają się, wszechobecne dotychczas w jego twórczości, inspiracje jazzem i muzyką filmową. Tytuł kompozycji zdradza nowe fascynacje kompozytora - tym razem jest to muzyka polska i spuścizna jednego z najsłynniejszych kompozytorów polskich XX wieku - Aleksandra Tansmana. Mimo, że w utworze odnaleźć można echa stylu twórcy Cavatiny oraz liczne nawiązania do polskiej muzyki ludowej (stylizacje polskich tańców ludowych w drugiej i trzeciej części suity, a także wykorzystanie motywów tradycyjnej piosenki "Cichy zapada zmrok" w części czwartej), to motywy te wykorzystane zostały z charakterystycznym dla Pasiecznego polotem i swobodą wnosząc nową jakość do współczesnego repertuaru gitarowego. Jak w każdym swoim utworze kompozytor - gitarzysta w pełni wykorzystał możliwości techniczne oraz walory harmoniczne i kolorystyczne instrumentu. Hommaeg a Aleksander Tansman jest utworem o średnim stopniu trudności.
