Boris Asafiev (1884-1949) was perhaps the most important musicologist, critic and writer in the Soviet Union during the early decades of the century. Asafiev was introduced to the guitar by Andrés Segovia, during the latter°s 1926 tour of the Soviet Union. Probably with Segovia’s encouragement, Asafiev set to write music for the guitar. The result of his work in this direction were the Six Romances and 12 Preludes for Solo Guitar, and the present guitar concerto in G Major, all written in 1939. This set of performance materials includes a full score and all the instrumental parts. The solo guitar part is available separately (#494-02494).
