Giuliani: 12 Monferrinas, Op. 12 (TECLA X 10401)

This present version is the entire 12 Monferrine op. 12 by Giuliani consisting of twelve pieces, presented as a pdf.

These Monferrine considered as easy pieces

Giuliani wrote some of the pieces in these 12 Monferrine to be easy in the sense that much of the time you only have to play a single melodic line and the occasional open bass. The melodic lines often sing out high up on the strings where the frets are closer together, so that you don’t have to stretch the hand as much as you would if they were close to the first position.

This set of Monferrine is one of five sets of dances by Giuliani which are available as a Tecla printed book entitled Dances of 1810 (TECLA 395) [LINK].
