There is a recording of these by David Leisner. They are a bit different from the Max Eschig version, which was the one edited down by Andres Segovia. They are both pretty similiar, the only real differences are in the repeat signs and the direction, less in Segovia's version, except in Etude 10. Etude 10 has a whole beginning section that was completely taken out in the Segovia script." (5 May 2009) "[re corrections to Bar 40 and Bar 50] Since these are both from the section omitted in the published edition, the corrections came from the original manuscript and not the published." (6 May 2009) "From contact with David Leisner, a wonderful guitarist who recorded all the etudes, preludes and suites populaire on Naxos, I became aware that the original manuscripts were changed a fair bit when edited by Segovia for the Max Eschig editions, which are the ones that most tabs and various sheets are derived from. The main things left out were the tempo and dynamic directions, (why?), and also etude 10 has an entire passage omitted, for a certain reason, I'm sure, though I don't know it. There are also many more repeat signs in the edited compared with the original, for example etudes 1 and 2 have no repeats in them whatsoever in the original, but every bar is repeated in the Segovia/Eschig edition... I love this etude because the first half, without the slurs, is more about how disciplined you can be with the amount of volume and pop imparted into each chord with the right hand, as well as legato with the bass notes, while the slur section seems to be about making sure that you can still keep up the legato on the G string while performing solid slurs with the pinky or third." (18 May 2009) === - duration, length of note, note held > - stressed allarg. - becoming slower arp. - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the higest note bpm - beats per minute (quarter notes) f - forte - loud fermata - pause, notes or rests held for longer than their value ord. - return to normal playing rit. - ritenuto - suddenly slower, slowing down tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the original tempo) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org if you come across any mistakes please let me know - weed@wussu.com
