Product Description

FOREST TALES is a collection of 10 pieces that aim to acquaint classical guitar students with the unequal time signatures most commonly used in Bulgarian folk music  (starting with 5/8, all the way  to 15/8). Each of the pieces is aimed at mastering a certain technical element: the Little Spider stretches the threads of its cobweb through a descending legato to an open string, Dr. Woodpecker takes care of the bark of the trees through various percussion techniques, the Fireflies glitter with the sound of natural harmonics, and so on.

All musicians all over the world are familiar with dance forms like alemande and sarabande, menuette and waltz, tango and rumba, but how many of them are familiar with the different Bulgarian types of 'horo' (ring-dances)? Each piece in my 'Forest Tales' collection is predecesed by a text explaining which dances from which Bulgarian folk regions are typical for this or that time signature and how we are supposed to count the beats in it.

I wish you a pleasant and fruitful time with this book!

Vasil Belezhkov

P.S. Some of the pieces also have piano transcriptions made by me.
