These pieces were originally for the baroque lute. They are still being checked and polished. Please let me know of any corrections or suggestions. The individual pieces are of course of different grades for which I have given approximate indications.
My heartfelt thanks go to Zurab Parastaev for his unstinting help, suggestions and support with the preparation of these pieces.
