PENTAGRAMMA E TABLATURE. 

TRASCRIZIONE COMPLETA PER CHITARRA ELETTRICA, DALL'ORIGINALE PER ORGANO, DI TUTTA LA CELEBRE Toccata And Fugue In D Minor Bwv 565 .

Unlike many Bach editions for guitar, these transcriptions are meant to be performed using a pick. Although a few of the pieces may be played on a standard acoustic guitar, most require an electric guitar or a guitar with a cutaway. All pieces are in the original keys and their ranges may require notes as high as the twenty-second fret. Written in notation and tablature, these six pieces make great sight reading exercises. The included CD will prove an asset in learning these often challenging pieces.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Kiefer developed an interest in the guitar at a young age. Among his classical guitar teachers were Howard Wallach at San Jactinto College and William Gangel at Southwest Texas State University. Mr. Kiefer is a graduate of the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles, California, as well as the University of Houston where he received a Bachelor's degree in music composition. He has studied composition with Robert Albury, George Burt at Rice University, and he is currently studying with Michael Horvit and Reynaldo Ochoa at the University of Houston where he is working on a Master's degree in music composition. John is the author of a series of electric guitar transcriptions and companion CDs published by Mel Bay Publications including Classical Music for Electric Guitar, and Christmas Music for Electric Guitar. His guitar compositions include numerous works for classical and electric guitar in various settings. His sex t e t for flute, oboe, bass clarinet, percussion, electric guitar and cello was selected as the winner of the first annual Brown New Music composition competition at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island where it was performed in the spring of2001. Hex e n bra u for electric guitar and orchestra was premiered in October of 2001 by the Baytown Symphony Orchestra with the composer as soloist. Mr. Kiefer currently teaches at Lee College in Houston, Texas.

PREFACE
Unlike many Bach editions for guitar, these transcriptions are meant to be performed using a pick. Even though a few of the pieces may be played on a standard guitar, the others require an electric guitar or a guitar with a cutaway. The highest note used is the D on the 22nd fret of the first string. All pieces are in their original keys. Octaves have been occasionally raised or lowered to suit the range of the guitar. One of the techniques employed in this collection is hybrid picking. Hybrid picking is a right hand technique combining the use of the pick (held by the thumb -p-and the index finger -i-) with the remaining right hand fingers simultaneously. The indications are m - 2nd finger, a - 3rd finger, and c- 4th finger. All slurs (hammer-ons and pull-offs) are indicated on the tablature by an arc between two or more numbers. Glissandos (slides) are notated with a diagonal line. This collection consists of music written for flute (Badinerie), violin (Preludio and Gigue) and organ (Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Fantasia in G, and Praeludium in A minor). In its original setting, the Badinerie (flute part) is accompanied by a small orchestra consisting of two violins, a viola, and basso continuo.

J.S. Bach: New Transcriptions For Guitar

Originally released in 1993, Philip Hii's project was a critic's favorite, despite its limited availability. Mr. Hii's rendering of Bach's masterworks on this recording reveal that his talent as an expressive performer equals his enormous gift for transcription.

Recommended to all who want guitar music to rise above the salon and to express a little more than intimate charm.&Philip Hii joins the daring band of prospectors who have mined new gold. - Colin Cooper, Classical Guitar Magazine

one of the more remarkable moments in the recorded guitar literature. - Kurt Loft, The Tampa Tribune

Powerful and confident&Some guitarists merely arrange famous music to make it playable...Hii has found new and subtle nuances in this Baroque music, which he brings to life in a manner that is at once virtuosic and musical. Believe all the hyperbole you may have read about this talented guitarist.  - John Clayton, St. Louis Guitar Society Newsletter

Mr. Hii is a guitarist of great talent&his technical prowess can be said without exaggeration to rival that of Kazuhito Yamashita...terrifying to mere mortals. In a nutshell: if you see this CD, buy it immediately. - Stephen Hooker, Guitar Toronto Newsletter

With impeccable technique and outstanding interpretative gifts, Hii succeeds in making his own transcriptions of these pieces...originally written for violin or organ...sound joyfully at home on nylon-string guitar. His passionate rubato and penetrating tone contribute to a thrilling performance that adds a new dimension to the Bach guitar repertoire. - James Rotondi, Guitar Player Magazine

Some of the most fascinating guitar records on the market are devoted entirely to transcriptions. ...an even more exciting disc...because it faces more serious challenges and meets them brilliantly...is J.S. Bach: New Transcriptions for Guitar. ...Even in a dazzling performance, BWV 565 loses something when it is shifted from the organ to the guitar, but Hii makes it sound as if it had been composed for his own instrument...no small accomplishment. - Joseph McClellan, The Washington Post

Astonishing technique, abundant ideation and liquid expression. The sense of discovery is heightened by Hii's elegant sense of timing, his genuine interpretation and superb phrasing, the result being a completely satisfying Bach recital that borders on revelation. (Oh yes...here's someone with 's famous P, F & A at a fast tempo, which the symmetry of the structure demands.) Highest Recommendation. - John Schneider, Soundboard Magazine

...an almost mind-numbing achievement in dexterity and musicality. ...Hii has taken liberties here and there, streamlining internal harmonies where necessary while maintaining the essence of the compositions. The results are stunning. The Toccata, by virtue of its difficulty, is rarely tackled on a six-string. Hii's stellar arrangement and reading rousingly capture the propulsive rhythmic drive and the wide dynamic range required for this piece; it is spine-chilling. Do yourself a favor: Don't miss this album. - Michael Wright, AudioMagazine
