Back to index of guitar pages by Donald Sauter.
This page lists my collection of guitar & piano music which I got from the Library of Congress (LoC). At first, I worried that it might win me a grand award for "Useless Web Page" like that poor guy who first put up his record collection list.
But then I made it legitimate by adding a scholarly "Appendix 1", cross-correlating what I've found at the Library of Congress with Eugenio Becherucci's catalog of known guitar & piano works, published in Il Fronimo, Jan 1990.
Then I went overboard and added "Appendix 2", which lists the errors found in these editions, plus gives a few crumbs of performance tips and information on the pieces. You can get to the desired work in Appendix 2 by clicking on the name of the piece in the list below. (If you jump into Appendix 2, use the back arrow function of your browser to return to the place you came from. Saves me tons of HTML... Thanks.)
Then I went really crazy and made the music available to anyone who wants it. If you see anything you'd like, then go to my page that shows how to put in a guitar and piano music order.
But, the original reason for this web page was just to give any guitarist who stumbles by a hint of the fine time there is to be had with guitar & piano. No doubt you've been lectured on how valuable, satisfying and fun making music with other musicians is. It's true. Obviously, if you've always played by yourself and have thought of expanding your horizons, going duo is the next logical step. Pianists are easy to find.
It's a good sound combo, all those plucked and struck strings. In spite of the common wisdom, there is probably less of a balance problem than with any other instrument. (Pianos can play piano, see?) For the time being, at least, guitar and piano is off the beaten track. You could be the first on your block.
These pieces almost all date from the first half of the 19th Century. Maybe the music isn't quite Schumann or Beethoven (and it surely isn't Brouwer, sorry), but it's good and it's correct - and it's ours. There are lovely pieces and lively pieces and if the operatic arrangements don't make you want to stomp up and around the walls and ceiling then you should probably be looking into having a casket fitted.
Only a few of these works exist in modern editions and I got the notion to make a small business selling high quality, restored copies of all these works. The interest was minuscule so I put the business on hold. Afterwards, I found another batch of guitar & piano pieces at the library. These are distinguished below by the words, "Facsimile not fully corrected and restored", although they are all in excellent shape and perfectly readable. I did number the measures in them.
If anyone has web space for putting up all 2000 pages of music here and making them available to the world for "free", please get in touch. I put "free" in quotes because of all the time, effort and costs involved in downloading and printing out the "free" copies. On top of that, the image quality will come nowhere near that of old-fashioned analog copies. But all that can change; you have to start somewhere.
A few last little odds and ends: "pf" is the abbreviation for piano.
To help out with searches on German words which use umlauts, I give here the "ae", "oe" and "ue" spellings of such words found in this page. I like to see the umlaut, but I put it after the letter, which might confound searches.

Workers at the Library of Congress, and all locals, call it "LC", pronounced "ell-cee" with equal stress on the syllables. I think the "o" in LoC is as dopey-sounding as the "of" in US of A, but that's what the rest of the world calls it. So, in order to make the page web searcher-friendly, I bowed to "LoC" pressure in Jan 2007.
Helpful keywords: I've never been able to find this page from a web search on the "obvious" words for guitar and piano music. Maybe one of these variations will do it. guitar and piano music; guitar and piano duets; chamber music for guitar and piano; guitar & piano music; guitar & piano duets; chamber music for guitar & piano; piano and guitar music; piano and guitar duets; chamber music for piano and guitar; piano & guitar music; piano & guitar duets; chamber music for piano & guitar; classical guitar and piano music; classical guitar and piano duets; chamber music for classical guitar and piano; classical guitar & piano music; classical guitar & piano duets; chamber music for classical guitar & piano; piano and classical guitar music; piano and classical guitar duets; chamber music for piano and classical guitar; piano & classical guitar music; piano & classical guitar duets; chamber music for piano & classical guitar; guitar and piano duos; 19th century chamber music; 19th c. chamber music; hausmusik.

Guitar & Piano holdings of the Library of Congress, and Eugenio Becherucci's catalog
Robert Trent, in his dissertation "The early 19th century repertory for the guitar and fortepiano", has counted up over 441 such works. Eugenio Becherucci lists 266 of them in his Il Fromino article (Jan 1990).
Notice that the Library of Congress (LoC) has about 130 of these works for guitar & piano - about a third of all the known ones. Very impressive! On the other hand, I would guess that LoC has only a tiny fraction of a percent of all the 19th century European music published for solo guitar. The best explanation for this curious disparity (and, I'm not sure it completely satisfies me) is that music for guitar & piano, being "chamber music", was considered "important" - in contrast to just plain, ol' guitar music. At the beginning of the 20th century, the music division made a monumental effort to become a world-leading music library, and went over and bought up lots of "important" European editions. (For an excellent article on this, see "Putting the Experience of the World at the Nation's Command: Music at the Library of Congress, 1800-1917", Gillian B. Anderson, Journal of the American Musical Society 42:1, Spring 1989, page 108.) Still, a lot of the collection comes from gifts, and I wonder why donors haven't unloaded mountains of European guitar music on the Library of Congress. Or maybe I've missed something?
Becherucci gives locations for the pieces in his catalog. All of the above European piano & guitar works are noted as being owned by the Library of Congress, with the following oversights and exceptions.
The following editions are listed in Becherucci's catalog, but he does not mention LoC as a holder:

These works in the LoC collection are not even listed in Becherucci's catalog:

Corrections and comments on the editions
As mentioned earlier, 120 or so of the editions in the big list above were prepared for publication back in 1996. I called the finished product a "performance facsimile", meaning modifications and corrections were made to a copy of the original. The result combines authority and playability. Modifications to the original include:
- Measure numbers are supplied.
- Errors are corrected.
- All page-turn problems for the guitarist are solved.
- For the modern reader's comfort:
- Implied accidentals are written in.
- Centered whole and half notes are shifted left to where
they are played.
- Background is despeckled.
- Flawed musical symbols are reconstructed.
- Noteheads engraved too high or low are repositioned correctly.
I kept a record of all the corrections I made, which may may be useful to anyone who has, or may eventually get, copies of any of these guitar & piano editions from other sources. After you number the measures, you can quickly check to see if you want to implement the corrections I thought were necessary. To eliminate the pain of numbering measures yourself - it's much more work, and a lot harder, than you think - I've supplied the leading measure numbers for each staff down each page. You'll see that I'm adamant about counting all measures, including partial measures and second endings. I also insist on keeping the count going across the various movements, which eliminates potential communication problems.
I also give a few tips here for solving various problems - not a big deal, but why should everyone reinvent the wheel for himself? Same logic at work regarding the definitions of the musical terms used in each piece. There's also a bit of information on some of the music, in particular, the operas that provided some of the tunes. Again, not a big deal, but I figured three or four "not a big deal"s add up to something worth passing on. If anyone has more information on these pieces, please tell me. In particular, if you know of other guitar works using the same music, let me know. I get the biggest kick out of tie-ins.
After preparing all of this music for publication, I found there was no great interest in it. I gave up trying to sell it around 1997. This is not a commercial web site and, I assure you, I went about putting this page together without commercial thoughts. Still, there's no reason one can't get in touch if one is interested. These cleaned-up and corrected copies are superior in every practical way to copies one could get from a library. They could be had for a tiny fraction of the time, effort and money it would take to dig them out of libraries. Never mind the effort then required to make the library copies performance-ready... Never mind the wear and tear on the library's originals...
NOTE NAMES: To make sense of the corrections, we need to be on the same wavelength regarding naming the notes. The notes are A B C D E F G, of course, but it's better to think of the cycle starting with C - C D E F G A B - since the various octaves are thought of as beginning on C notes. The octave to which a note belongs is indicated by the case of the letter, and the sub- or superscript tick marks. (Sub- or superscript numbers are also used, but the tick marks are simpler on a web page.) The order of the octaves from low to high is C,, C, C c c' c'' etc. Notated middle C (regardless of actual pitch) is c'. (This is called "one-line C".) Thus, starting 2 octaves below middle C, the note names are:
C D E F G A B c d e f g a b c' d' e' f' g' a' b' c'' d'' e'' ...

middle C
(one ledger line below the treble clef)

I have produced a modern rewriting of the passage in harmonics (gtr237...)
which can be taped over the original.
There is a problem with the notation where the composer indicates 7th fret
harmonics (gtr253,255, etc.) Either the notated pitches are not intended,
or else the harmonics are not all at the 7th fret. Since the notated
pitches make better music than the 7th fret harmonics, I have worked out
these measures in harmonics which faithfully yield the notated pitches.

Requires a capo (or terz guitar.)
At measure 281 the time signature changes from 2/4 to 6/8. Presumably, the
basic beat, or movement, stays the same. That is, old quarter note =
new dotted quarter note.
To eliminate a page turn problems, make fold-outs of guitar pages 1 and 6.
To communicate with the pianist, the guitarist must transpose the notated notes up a minor third. Think of the middle note of a minor triad built on the note you are looking at, or consult this chart:
Guitarist reads: A A# Bb B C C# D D# E F F# G G#
But note really is: C C# Db D Eb E F F# G Ab A Bb B

Corrections (gtr/pf=measure number; bt=beat; c'=notated middle C):
Gtr92 bt1: grace note a was c'.
Gtr154: end bar line added.
Gtr155: removed staccato dot below last a.
Pf146 bt4 treble: g' was a'.
Pf342 bt6 bass: E was D.
Implied accidentals written in: pf91,100,133,140.
Comments:
Requires a capo (or terz guitar.)
Beware of unmarked triplets, for example in gtr73.
It is presumed that a pause for turning pages during measure 302 was intended
by the composer. Still, here's a solution.
Copy the first 4 staffs on page 8. Glue the
flap so that it folds out from the top right of page 7. Open the flap at
the beginning of the Rondo. Close the flap and turn the page after
measure 327.
To communicate with the pianist, the guitarist must transpose the notated notes up a minor third. Think of the middle note of a minor triad built on the note you are looking at, or consult this chart:
Guitarist reads: A A# Bb B C C# D D# E F F# G G#
But note really is: C C# Db D Eb E F F# G Ab A Bb B
Definitions:
Dolce = sweet.
Rinf = rinforzando = sudden stress on a single note or chord.
Rondo = form of music in which the principal subject is repeated several times, e.g., ABACA.

Comments:
Gtr29-30: it appears that both the grace note and the main note (f'-e' and f-e)
are plucked with the thumb. If so, what does the slur mean?
Bracket meanings, according to M.Y. Ferrer (The Guitar In America, Danner, p10):
( = thumb strum, bass to treble, on a diagonal from the soundhole towards the bridge.
[ = simultaneously strike bass note with thumb, treble notes with i.
[ = strum towards the bass with the indicated finger. ** fix **

Gtr21: guitar has fermata while piano has extra measure 22.
Pf316-318 treble: repeat slashes may seem odd at first, but they apply to the
stem-up notes in the bass clef.
Piano page turns made easy by starting with page 1 left.
Guitar part has a bad page turn going from page 3 to page 4. There
seems to be no good solution using foldouts since neither page 3
nor page 4 has a usable gap. (Gtr205 yields hardly more time than gtr167.)
Consider leaving out the a' in gtr167. Note that the piano plays this
exact note at the right time. This gives the
left hand a full measure to turn the page. (Have a corner bent.)
Or, slur the a' and g' in gtr167 in position 2. This gives the right
hand almost a full measure to turn the page. Any other ideas?

Comments:
Requires a terz guitar.
Where plate numbers were too fragmentary to reconstruct, they were removed.
Pf11: if written correctly implies unmarked 4er note triplets. Working against that
interpretation is that triplets have been explicitly marked throughout this
publication.
Pf58: the run of 24 32nd notes fills out the measure precisely.
Piano part has 2 more measures than guitar at pf204-205.

To communicate with the pianist, the guitarist must transpose the notated notes up a minor third. Think of the middle note of a minor triad built on the note you are looking at, or consult this chart:
Guitarist reads: A A# Bb B C C# D D# E F F# G G#
But note really is: C C# Db D Eb E F F# G Ab A Bb B

Gtr41 bt2: d'' was e''.
Gtr53 bt1: 8th rest was 4er rest.
Gtr114: measure was missing. It was constructed based on the pattern in the surrounding
measures, using C C A minor harmony for the 3 beats, respectively. Perhaps C7 harmony
should be used on the 1st or 2nd beat - work in b'flat at your discretion. The
measure originally in that position was identical to the following one. Using the bis
indication on the 2nd freed up the first for modification into gtr114. All that was
needed was to change the beat3 f'' to e''.
Gtr144 bt1: natural removed from b.

Comments:
This work is wholly contained within "Potpourri", Op 157, published by Schott.
However, there are some musical differences between the two.
To eliminate a page turn problem, make a fold-out of guitar page 1.
Presumably, Variation 1 is played attacca.
The corresponding measures in the Schott edition can be found by adding 178 to the measure numbers in this edition. The leading measure numbers for each system would then be:

Comments:
Before playing each movement, determine the route through it. This is hard to do "on
the fly." Note that D.C. is used to mean "dal segno", which is generally not at the
beginning. I have added directions given at the decision points,
for example measure 12.
In the piano part, the last rhythm value of the "decision point" measure may need to be
played differently from what is written. You'll adjust it according to what comes
next. This chart shows the specifics.

Comments:
Gtr88-94: the beaming of pairs of notes, rather than always in groups of 4, is for
saving space, not musical reasons.
Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766-1831) was a violinist and composer. His opera Lodoiska had its
premiere in Paris on August 1 1791. He also never played Beethoven's Kreutzer
Sonata.

The upside-down V, for example in gtr21, means to fret with the thumb.
To communicate with the pianist, the guitarist must transpose the notated notes up a minor third. Think of the middle note of a minor triad built on the note you are looking at, or consult this chart:

This piece is just one of the "airs" in the title of the publication.
Warning: it contains some odd (to put it politely) harmonic clashes.
Are there simple fixes that would make this piece sound normal? Or, are the harmony
clashes intentional? Was Muscarelli ahead of his time?

Piano part by John Theophil.
What is the interpretation of the curved bracket in gtr36,117 etc.?
Gtr142 bt1: 8th [position] not correct for d'' or needed for following chords,
but left in for its 19th century charm.

Comments:

Same music as Czerny edition.

Gtr72-87: are the intended rhythms notated? For instance, note that in Wolf.Potp1(Cz),
gtr78 has dotted rhythms. Should gtr73, gtr77 and gtr85 be identical? If so, which
is correct?
Pf7: Perhaps this measure was meant to be 2 measures, as suggested by its rhythm values
and the extra measure in the guitar part, gtr8.
Pf38 bass: half rest should be whole. Or maybe Simrock added a rest where there was
none while copying from Czerny edition.
Piano has extra measure 128 that guitar doesn't. Fermatas make this possible.
