Preludio gathers 130 light and attractive pieces for beginners from 6 centuries, providing the most important works for guitar lessons in a comprehensive volume. The repertoire is ideal for first performances at music schools, as literature for competitions and exams, or simply as a treasure trove for teachers, students, and guitar enthusiasts. The pieces are selected to be playable around the 2nd to 4th year of instruction. The repertoire is chronologically divided into five chapters, which are further organized by difficulty. Each chapter corresponds to a specific era: Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, early 20th century, Modern, Pop, and World Music. This results in a playbook that can be used during or immediately after any guitar course. Most pieces are in the first position.
