Cyril Scott Sonatina For Guitar PDF. This collection offers historical, previously unpublished compositions for guitar written for Andres Segovia by distinguished composers. The original manuscripts belong to Mrs. Emilia Segovia, Marquise of Salobrena, who has generously authorized their publications.
Cyril Scott’s guitar Sonatina, composed for Andres Segovia in 1927, was regarded for many decades as a lost work. Following its incomplete premiere in 1928, it disappeared from Segovia’s repertoire, remaining unpublished, unrecorded, and unavailable to other guitarists. The manuscript was thought to have perished, and the work acquired almost legendary status in the guitar world. The recovery of the manuscript in May 2001 confirms the Sonatina’s significance as a major break from the overtly Hispanic and folkloristically inspired pieces that dominate the pre-World War II repertoire of modern guitar music.
The author’s researches into Segovia’s reception in Paris and London in the mid-1920s, and into other ‘lost’ works composed for Segovia at this time, provide a context in which the story of Scott’s piece is unfolded and its significance assessed.
