Gaspar Sanz was one of the most celebrated guitarists and composers of his time. In 1674 he published a method for the baroque guitar. This method has been lauded by guitar aficionados and serves as a significant historic work. Written in Old Spanish with the tablature system of its day, this method has only been available to the few who would meticulously research and decipher its hidden meanings. Available here is the complete manuscript of Sanz's legacy, which has been translated into English and the tablature arrangements now include standard music notation. Jerry Willard has also included arrangements for the modern guitar and performs selections from this body of work on both the baroque and modern guitar which can be found on the accompanying audio. Audio is accessed online using the unique code inside the book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

Excellent Resource for Advanced Guitar Students
This collection is superb for intermediate to advanced classical guitar students (Grade 4). The dual notation, standard alongside tablature, is incredibly valuable for developing reading skills and understanding Baroque structure. Jerry Willard's arrangements are clear, and the included online audio with playback features is an outstanding tool for practicing rhythm and phrasing. Highly recommended for any serious guitar program.

Insightful Historical Resource for Guitarists and Scholars
While not a piano accompaniment score, this Gaspar Sanz collection is invaluable for understanding Baroque guitar. Willard's translation of Sanz's original method and the inclusion of both baroque tablature and modern notation are brilliant for historical study and informed performance. The arrangements highlight Sanz's compositional genius, offering deep insight into the period's instrumental texture and voice-leading for guitar.

A Joyful Journey into Baroque Guitar!
I've always loved the sound of Spanish Baroque guitar, and this collection by Gaspar Sanz, arranged by Jerry Willard, is a dream! The 'Grade 4' difficulty is a good challenge for me as an adult learner, but the online audio with its slow-down feature makes it totally achievable. It's so rewarding to play these historical pieces and feel like I'm connecting with the past. Pure enjoyment!

Comprehensive Sanz Collection for the Classical Guitarist
For classical gigs, having the complete Gaspar Sanz works in one volume is incredibly efficient. The standard notation provides all the necessary harmonic information, and the tablature is a nice bonus. Willard's arrangements for modern guitar are reliable, and the online audio is useful for quick familiarization with less common pieces. A solid, practical addition to any working classical guitarist's library.

Good stuff
Bought this before reading the above reviews, and so I more or less gave up on it. However, really pleasantly surprised when I got it. the interpretations are at least as good as the ones I am familiar with from Frederick Noad and Allan Alexander, that is for the well known Sanz pieces like Canarios, Folia and Espagnoletta. But the exciting thing about this volume that's dozens more, and gives a good insight in to Sanz' method and depth of his music. The audio is solid too with good renditions of Sanz' most famous pieces both for baroque- and modern guitar. You can also slow them down. I am enjoying exploring all the lesser known pieces the most though. Not sure about previews, and why they are so negative. I am an intermediate player, and possibly the other reviewers are more advanced guitarists. But from my perspective this is a good package to have.

Pretty good book
I bought the ebook just before noticing those negative reviews, so I had more or less given up on it by the time it arrived . However, I gradually found myself pleasantly surprised with the treasure of Sanz's work, this book is. the interpretations are very good, certainly at least as good as the one's from Fi am familiar with , from Frederick Noad and Allan Alexander, like folia, canarios and espagnoletta. This book has many more pieces and provides notations for Baroque guitar as well. the audio part is good too, with solid performances of the most well-known pieces, for both modern -and baroque-guitar Overall: very happy with it; the book is a true tribute to one of the greatest guitarists/composers. I really don't understand the 2 terrible reviews so far, and I find them disturbing, as they appear to be attacks, more so then helpful reviews.
