    Tarrega_Leckie_book_West_Dean_2016_Layout 1 12/05/2016 12:27 Page 1 ASG MUSIC NEW PUBLICATION THE 25th INTERNATIONAL THE TÁRREGA-LECKIE GUITAR MANUSCRIPTS LESSONS WITH THE MAESTRO CLASSICAL GUITAR FESTIVAL The facsimiles presented here are of manuscripts which were all beautifully handwritten by Francisco Tárrega, the most significant guitarist-composer of the late nineteenth century, for his student and 20 – 26 August 2016 patron, the Englishman, Dr Walter James Leckie. The significance of these scores, published here for the first time, cannot be overstated; with regard to both technical and stylistic matters it was Tárrega who laid the foundations for all future composers and arrangers for the instrument. In their original format they represent some six hundred and fifty-four pages of the maestro’s work and their reproduction, displaying markings by both Tárrega and Dr Leckie, allows a fascinating insight, at source, into the minds of maestro and student. In particular the attention to detail in the fingerings is quite astonishing. Text in English, Spanish & Japanese 236 colour pages, large format, hardback The book is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on this achievement and for enriching our lives with these documents. Pepe Romero A fantastic publication ... it is absolutely marvellous to have such a well-presented book. Congratulations to everyone involved. David Russell Magnificent facsimile edition. Printed on fine paper with the utmost clarity - a definitive book.
