Product Description

CAVATINA for Bb CLARINET and GUITAR
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.

Derek Hasted writes "The beautifully melodic "Cavatina" was made famous by John Williams, who arranged the piece for solo guitar and produced some effortless recordings of it.

Audiences equate effortless with easy, but it can be a bit of a beast to play well.

Why this arrangement?

Ive lowered the key by a semitone which makes many of the chords sound more mellow.

Ive fixed the ungainly jumps in the bass line which came as a constraint of playing up the neck on solo guitar.

Ive improved the connectivity of the middle voices from chord to chord so the chord changes sound more effortless and natural.

By virtue of the key change and careful use of enharmonic equivalents, the guitar part is now on familiar ground.

A side effect is that everything is easier and the sustain seems more effortless.

The Guitar is Capo 1, so that the clarinet and guitar are both in comfortable keys.

I also have versions for two guitars - to find them easily, visit my website (below) and look for my list of guitar duets.

I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
