Pieces for Guitar Solo By Anna Inozemceva

Anna Inozemceva's collection of guitar pieces represents a rare collaboration between two artists: a composer and an visual artist. The design of the collection was created by the visual artist Evgeny Ponomarenko, and the collection includes several of his works: "Shadows on the Snow," "Tango," "Above the Black Sea," "Warm October," "Pier," "Night Liturgy," and "Aurum." The sheet music in this collection is presented in two parallel lines, with one representing classical notation and the other representing tablature. This makes all the compositions in this collection easily accessible not only for professional musicians but also for enthusiasts. The layout of the collection is designed in such a way that there is no need to flip pages in the middle of a piece. This fundamentally new approach to music printing makes working with this collection exceptionally enjoyable. This collection can be a splendid gift for both beginner musicians and serious artists.
Technically, these pieces are not overly complex - they are very comfortable and enjoyable to perform. Musically, these compositions reveal the less obvious capabilities of the guitar - the constant use of different strings creates a pedal-like effect, more characteristic of harps, zithers, and other apollonian-type instruments. The pieces in this collection are united into a cycle: the narrative thread of the cycle unfolds from piece to piece, thus by the end of the cycle, the listener intuitively becomes engaged in a hidden drama, which nevertheless remains somewhat offstage. This quality makes this cycle worthy of attention not only for enthusiasts but also for professional musicians capable of delicately voicing hidden meanings. The entire cycle could constitute a single section of a concert.
