The books in this six volume series are comprised of both new and original compositions and works, which have been previously published by d’OZ. There is a long list of international composers represented and the variety of the musical styles is agreeably wide. What is of a type, is the quality of the music presented. From charming two- line compositions, to more extended works, the scope for musical expression and development is terrific. As weIl as being useful for the student this music is very attractive to play.
Each piece gives consistent musical shape and form, within which the student can develop his or her individual musicianship. Whether one is trying to understand how phrasing works, or how melodic lines are developed, or how melodies and accompanying figures should be focused, then this and much more, are to found throughout these volumes. This set of contemporary pieces, mostly written by guitarists, serve to advance not only technical improvements, but also assure that the technique is learnt through the musical needs of each piece.
The other levels are also available.
