An excellent contribution to Brazilian guitar solo literature, played and recorded by soloists around the world.

The Mel Bay Antonio Carlos Jobim for Classical Guitar is a book that highlights master Brazilian composer Jobim as a well-respected arranger who was highly attentive to detail. Jobim's extreme good taste emerged not only in his sublime melodies and harmonies but also in all the other finishing parameters of a musical work: Introductions, counterpoint, improvisations, dynamics, nuances, and even rhythmic details of accompaniments. All of these pieces have been arranged and re-created, completely written out from scratch, based on Jobim's original recordings only. Includes transcriptions of 10 solo Jobim pieces.

Unlike many Back editions for guitar, these transcriptions are meant to be played using a pick. All pieces are in their original keys, and their ranges may require notes on the twenty-second fret. Consequently, they require an electric guitar or at least an acoustic with a cutaway. Selections are Badinerie; Praeludium in A minor; Preludio in E; Gigue in E; Toccata and Fugue in D minor; and Fantasia in G. Written in both notation and tablature. 40 pages.
