By Carlos Pedrell
Guitar - Intermediate - Digital Download

SKU: ZZ.DZ-4585

Composed by Carlos Pedrell. Arranged by Cristiano Porqueddu. Score. Les Productions d'OZ - Digital #DZ 4585. Published by Les Productions d'OZ - Digital (ZZ.DZ-4585).

Carlos Pedrell was born in Minas, Uruguay, in 1878. A nephew of the Spanish musicologist and composer Felipe Pedrell, he received his musical education in Paris at the Schola Cantorum, where he studied under Vincent d’Indy. After serving as an inspector in various Argentine music schools, he returned to Paris in 1921, the city where he would later pass away in 1941. He devoted to the guitar several works of remarkable refinement, among which his masterpiece, Danzas de las tres princesas cautivas, stands out.

Interest in his output extended to Andrés Segovia, who included three short pieces by the Uruguayan composer in his celebrated Schott series and recorded one of them, Guitarreo, the concluding piece of a triptych that also comprises an austere Lamento and an aphoristic Página romántica.

The Danza Argentina, Carlos Pedrell’s first composition for guitar, dates from 1924. I was aware of its existence, yet I had not had the opportunity to study it in depth or to investigate its sources. In the summer of 2025, Professor Luigi Dell’Accio, guitarist, drew my attention to this forgotten page; and thanks to the generosity of my colleague and friend Luigi Biscaldi — to whom I wish once again to express my gratitude — I was able to obtain the manuscript. Further research has allowed me to ascertain that a copy of the work is also preserved in the collection of unpublished guitar manuscripts held by the Fundación Andrés Segovia in Linares. It was the intention of maestro and friend Angelo Gilardino, in 2004, to publish the complete edition of Pedrell’s works — with the exception of those already issued by Schott — within the prestigious series The Andrés Segovia Archive. That editorial project, however, was never brought to completion.

The present edition takes into account all expressive, dynamic, and agogic markings found in the autograph manuscript. In the rare cases where these may be considered optional, I have enclosed the symbol or indication in parentheses. In the Trio, finally, I deemed it formally appropriate not to remove certain guitar slurs and preferred instead to suggest that the performer obtain the resulting sound through the simple percussive action of the left-hand finger on the fingerboard.

Carlos Pedrell est né à Minas, en Uruguay, en 1878. Neveu du musicologue et compositeur espagnol Felipe Pedrell, il a reçu sa formation musicale à Paris, à la Schola Cantorum, sous la direction de Vincent d’Indy. Après avoir occupé le poste d'inspecteur dans diverses écoles de musique argentines, il retourne à Paris en 1921, ville où il s'éteindra plus tard, en 1941. Il a consacré à la guitare plusieurs œuvres d'un raffinement remarquable, parmi lesquelles se distingue son chef-d'œuvre, Danzas de las tres princesas cautivas.

L'intérêt pour sa production s'est étendu à Andrés Segovia, qui a inclus trois pièces courtes du compositeur uruguayen dans sa célèbre collection chez Schott. Il a d'ailleurs enregistré l'une d'entre elles, Guitarreo, pièce finale d'un triptyque comprenant également un austère Lamento et une Página romántica aphoristique.

À propos de l'édition
La Danza Argentina, première composition de Carlos Pedrell pour la guitare, date de 1924. Bien que je connaisse son existence, je n'avais pas encore eu l'occasion de l'étudier en profondeur ni d'en explorer les sources. À l'été 2025, le professeur et guitariste Luigi Dell’Accio a attiré mon attention sur cette page oubliée ; et grâce à la générosité de mon collègue et ami Luigi Biscaldi — à qui je tiens à exprimer à nouveau ma gratitude — j'ai pu obtenir le manuscrit.

Des recherches complémentaires m'ont permis d'établir qu'une copie de l'œuvre est également conservée dans la collection de manuscrits inédits pour guitare de la Fundación Andrés Segovia à Linares. Le maestro et ami Angelo Gilardino avait l'intention, en 2004, de publier l'édition complète des œuvres de Pedrell — à l'exception de celles déjà éditées par Schott — au sein de la prestigieuse série The Andrés Segovia Archive. Ce projet éditorial n'a toutefois jamais été mené à son terme.

Notes de révision
La présente édition prend en compte toutes les indications expressives, dynamiques et agogiques figurant sur le manuscrit autographe.

Signes optionnels : Dans les rares cas où ces indications peuvent être considérées comme facultatives, j'ai placé le symbole ou l'annotation entre parenthèses.

Le Trio : Enfin, dans le Trio, j'ai jugé formellement approprié de ne pas supprimer certains liaisons de guitare ; j'ai préféré suggérer à l'interprète d'obtenir le son résultant par la simple action percutante du doigt de la main gauche sur la touche.
