Classical Ukulele Anthology - Vol. 1

Classical Ukulele Anthology is a journey through 20 faithful transcriptions for ukulele of works drawn from the classical repertoire, with re-entrant (high G) tuning, presented in order of difficulty.

The works collected here, which call primarily for fingerstyle technique, are included in tablature form and traditional notation. Each piece is designed as both a concert miniature and an exercise. Care has been taken to preserve the original form and style, showcasing the ukulele's ability to perform sophisticated music without altering its esse nce.

Available in three volumes for beginner to expert level, the selected pieces are diverse and exclude any adaptations from guitar compositions.

Transcriptions by Giovanni Albini.
