Takemitsu – 12 Songs for Guitar

12 Songs for Guitar
Concert Arrangements
by Toru Takemitsu

Imported from Japan–Twelve classic pop-melodies arranged for guitar by the great Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu. Including music by Harold Arlen, George Gershwin and the Beatles, these are the actual arrangements heard on countless classical guitar recordings, including recent releases by Manuel Barrueco, John Williams, Franz Halasz, Göran Söllscher, and Sharon Isbin.

Your can hear each of these solos performed, along with twelve additional Takemitsu compositions/arrangements, on the incredible Franz Halasz CD All in Twilight. (See Below)

These arrangements will require some work to master, and are definitely intended for the experienced player. However, once mastered you will forever have a dozen performance quality pieces added to your repertoire. Music notation, No Tab. Very highly recommended!
