〖The Classical Guitar(古典时期吉他音乐)〗　　
About The Music（古典时期的吉他音乐作品）--续
　　A large body of studies have been included, not only because they provide attractive material for less advanced players, but also because the composers included some of their most charming melodies in the instructional methods that they all wrote, possibly because these methods had the potential of much wider sales than individual works or small collections.
　　For duet players a variety of works have been included, including a complete edition of Sor's delightful Opus 53. A very popular form of duo involved the use by the first guitar of a capotasto (or capodastro) clamped onto the third fret of a conventional guitar, or alternatively the use of a smaller (Terz) guitar tuned a minor third higher. The Diabelli duet is an example of this combination. Any prejudice that may exist against the use of this device with the classical guitar should be dispelled by the knowledge that Giuliani's nickname given to him by a frivolous secret society to which he belonged was Vilac Umo Capodastro.*
　　Ultimately, the choice of music has been based on melodic quality, since I believe that those who play the guitar are particularly concerned with melody, and a personal liking for the selected works. I realize that the collection heavily favors the work of Sor and Giuliani; but after examining literally hundreds of compositions of other composers of the period in the hope of finding a neglected masterpiece, I have come to the conclusion that there is a considerable qualitative gap between these two leading figures and all their competitors. To represent the lesser composers would have entailed robbing space from the better ones, and as this is not an historical work, the decision to emphasize Sor and Giuliani seemed unavoidable. The only significant regret I have is the inability to include good representative works of Paganini, who was a considerable guitarist as well as violinist. The only unpublished compositions that I have so far been able to acquire have not been up to the required standard, and I can only hope that in a later work I may be able to do justice to the guitar compositions of this remarkable man.
　　In conclusion may I wish the reader much enjoyment in exploring some of the treasures of this period.
