Giuliani Dances of 1810 - from Tecla Editions

These dances were the first easy pieces which Giuliani published when he came to Vienna as a young man. He wrote them to be easy in the sense that much of the time you only have to play a single melodic line and the occasional open bass string. Most of the time they are in or near the first position, but sometimes the melodic lines sing out high up on the strings, where the frets are closer together so that you don't have to stretch the hands as much as you would if they were in the first position (and it's fun).

Mauro Giuliani:

Dances of 1810

Five sets of lively dances from Vienna, for guitar, most of them easy

edited by Brian Jeffery

NEW PUBLICATION JUNE 2006. Here are five sets of dances for guitar by Giuliani, 62 dances in all, most of them easy. They are actual dance music, from the Vienna which was just as crazy about dancing in 1810 as it was later in the time of Strauss and Lehar. They are full of life: Giuliani was a young man of 29, who had just burst onto the Vienna music scene. They're not boring: they should be played with rhythm and great vivacity.

MAY 2012 Rob MacKillop has just made a video of four of Giuliani's Monferrine dances, from this book. Have a look!

This is a completely new edition, re-engraved, of Giuliani's sets of dances opp. 12, 21, 23, 24 and 33. Most of them are easy to play and will be useful for students. Newly edited by Brian Jeffery direct from the original editions. No fingering has been added. 36 pages.

Review 2006: "Giuliani, Mauro: Dances of 1810. Five sets of lively dances from Vienna for guitar, most of them easy. Londres: Tecla Editions, 2006, 23 x 30,5 cm, 27 págs.
He aquí sesenta y dos danzas para guitarra, agrupadas en cinco tipos (doce monferrinas, doce valses, etc.), la mayoría de ellas sencillas, compuestas por Mauro Giuliani. Publicadas en Viena hacia 1810, destacan especialmente por su viveza (no olvidemos que por entonces el compositor era un hombre joven, de tan sólo veintinueve años, y esto se refleja en su obra)." ( Música y Educación, Spain, 2006). ("Here are 62 dances for guitar, in five groups (twelve monferrinas, twelve waltzes, etc.), most of them simple, composed by Mauro Giuliani. Published in Vienna in about 1810, they are remarkable above all for their liveliness - we should remember that the composer was a young man at that time, only 29 years old, and that is reflected in this music.")
