Gilbert DeBenedetti A Dozen Italian Diversions for Guitar Solo PDF. A Dozen Italian Diversions is perfect both for honing technical skills and for solo guitar performance at the intermediate level. Dedicated to his parents who took him to Italy frequently as a child to cultivate an appreciation of his heritage, the author named each piece after an important Italian site or cultural entity. Written in18th century style, this collection of miniatures addresses a wide variety of moods while each piece, like an etude, focuses on just a few skills; for example- the melodic bass line of "Lament at La Scala," the speed of "The Olympic Downhill" and "Tempest in the Olive Trees," the slurs of "Palazzo Reale-Turin," and a traditional minuet and trio entitled "Florentine Festival: Piazza della Signoria." "Romeo and Juliet: The Last Act" features a scordatura tuning with the sixth string dropped to D, and "The Lonely Gondolier" is a gently rocking barcarole in 6/8 time in the key of A minor. The pieces are written in standard notation and tablature for maximum accessibility. Free audio downloads are available for use with this title.
