Bagatelles for Prepared Guitar

The fi􏰀rst 4 of these pieces were conceived in 1987 and performed a few times by me in the late 1980s. They were sketched out in a very rudimentary manner and improvised in performance. This score is based on the only recording (as far as I know) of one of these performances.

Bagatelle V was newly composed in 2022, after once again being reminded of what an amazing instrument this is.

Look at the score here.
