From Folk to Classical 2 for Guitar Solo by Paul Coles - 24 Arrangements, Universal Edition, 32 Pages, Moderate Difficulty (UK Grade 5-6)

From Folk to Classical 2 is a mouth-watering collection of 24 arrangements for classical guitar by Paul Coles. The classical pieces include many favourites, including a few you would not expect to hear on the guitar, such as Habanera from Carmen and Saint-Sans famous Swan but they really work!

Traditional folk numbers are not neglected, with Michael Row the Boat and Londonderry Air among the best known. The arrangements are for moderately advanced players (UK grade 5-6) and Paul has offered fingering help for both left and right hands. It follows Book 1 (UE 21673) which was published in 2017 (Grades 3-4). Try it, perhaps as a warm up for Book 2 if you dont already know it and then try Pauls 26 Melodic Studies (UE 21670) or his Momentos Espanoles (UE 21671).
