Product Description
Auguste Franchomme was one of the most well-known
and respected cellists in 19th century France. He was born in 1808 in Lille and
went on to have a long, celebrated career in Paris as a performer, teacher and
composer. Of the three pieces arranged here for guitar, one is
drawn from the Twelve Caprices, Op. 7 and two are from the Twelve Etudes, Op.
35. The Caprice, No. 9, Larghetto con dolore, retains its original key
of B minor. Etudes, No. 5, Allegretto, and No. 6, Andante con moto,
have been transposed to new keys. All transfer well to the guitar, offering
novel textures while still seeming idiomatic to the instrument.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
