A guitar concert in three movements.
Instruments: Flute 1+2, Oboe 1+2, Clarinet in A 1+2, Bassoon 1+2, Horn in A 1+2, Violin 1+2, Violin Ripieno 1+2, Viola, Violoncello, and Double Bass.
My intention for this edition of Premier Grand Concerto A Minor, op. 30 by Mauro Giuliani was to provide an edition geared specifically towards performance practice. As a result of this focus I compiled several different versions of editions spanning several years. They differ in terms of orchestral composition (for instance presence or absence of Violini Ripieni, various number of wind instruments participation), articulation differences, dynamics or rather ambiguously notated ornaments. I left the original transpositions for Horn in A and Horn in E. I also took into account a version for guitar with string accompaniment. However, I did not include the first 105 bars of the guitar part, which are included in the version with piano accompaniment published by Anton Diabelli around 1822.
In essence - this edition is not intended to withstand musicological nor scientific criterion, it also doesn’t compare and analyze differences between individual editions of this concerto. My goal was rather to standardise the dynamic articulation and ornamentation markings, as those attributes were inconsistently used and were quite ambiguous in the previous editions.
For those who are interested - in addition to the original editions of the concerto from this period, there is another one revised by Ruggero Chiesa, published by Edizioni Suvini Zerbini – Milano. In it, one will find an extensive introduction skillfully analysing musicological and editorial aspects of the concerto. Included in it is also a list of original editions from the period, those are still available today.
Some might find it interesting to familiarise themselves with a cadenza written by Leo Brouwer (Cadenza: Giuliani - Concerto Op. 30 – Max Eschig).
A good starting point and a valuable source for your own fingering is the edition from the Music Minus One series published by Hal Leonard, where the fingering of the guitar part was with great precision edited by Christian Reichert. In this edition however I left the fingering guitar part to the performers.
I hope that this somewhat updated edition presented here will be well received by guitarists and conductors alike.
