Fabrice Pierrat : 12 Valses for 4 guitars : 1. Valse de Janvier : DOz

Fabrice Pierrat

Les Productions D’Oz: score and separate parts (4, 2, 2, 2, and 2 pages respectively)

Here is one of a set of twelve pieces based on the months of the year, written for a quartet of guitars, which could be played by one person to each part or several. As he explains in his Preface the pieces are written for two different standards of players

This particular one is obviously written for the easier standard of players, as all the four parts are single notes, and therefore a lot easier to take part in.

It is pleasant, melodic and an ideal piece for players not used to quartet playing to get their fingers around. Everything is quite simple and I can see many people having a lot of pleasure trying this out.
