After the piano and harpsichord, the guitar is the instrument most associated with Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757). Many of his keyboard works were influenced by the guitar music of Spain, his adopted country. This collection of arrangements for solo guitar is an ideal introduction to Scarlatti's music. The ten varied pieces were carefully chosen for their musical character and technical suitability. Placed in order of difficulty, they reflect the range of skills required for Baroque repertoire, at intermediate and advanced levels. Includes stylish and idiomatic adaptations, preserving the original ornamentation with advice on ornaments, including full realisations. Core repertoire for Grades 6-8, with pieces on the ABRSM Guitar syllabus. Carefully considered fingering, both clear and consistent.

Overall this is a very easy book to use and is suitable for all those with an interest in baroque music for guitar as well as those who are working on Grades 6-8 for classical guitar. - Schools Music Association Bulletin
The arrangements feature comprehensive instructions on correct fingering for the right and left hand and positioning, and most of the ornamentation is accompanied by a footnote showing how best to approach it. - Schools Music Association Bulletin
The arrangements themselves are well done, featuring mainly two part harmonies with the lead lines along with the bass notes and occasionally movements based around full chords. The layout is well spread out over the whole page which makes for easier reading ... there are no awkward page turns even in those that take three pages. - Schools Music Association Bulletin
