Prelude No 1 in C - Manuel Maria Ponce (1882-1948)
*******************************************************************************
version 1 - Segovia arrangement ("Prelude No 7") - Schott edition (1930)
version 2 - Alcazar arrangement - Tecla edition (1981)
*******************************************************************************
"...these pieces were written with Spanish guitarist Andr�s Segovia in mind,
and it was at Segovia's instigation that twelve of them were published by
Schott in 1930.... only in 1981 did the rest of them appear, thanks to the
digging of guitarist Miguel Alc�zar, who knew from Ponce's personal documents
that Ponce had written 24 preludes using all the major and minor keys and who
was determined to unearth them all. He succeeded in finding eleven of the
remaining pieces, and, by craftily adapting another Ponce piece to fill the
sole empty spot, edited, published, and recorded them... The 24 Preludes are
ordered by Alc�zar so as to mimic the preludes of Chopin by moving around the
circle of fifths (so that Nos 1 and 2 in C major and A minor, respectively, are
followed by preludes in G major and E minor, then D major and B minor, and so
on), but they were not composed in that order or ever planned by Ponce to
appear in that order... Most of Ponce's manuscripts were never prepared for
publication, and so tempos, dynamics, articulations are often sketchy and are
sometimes absent altogether, leaving editor and performer to use their best
judgment... The C major prelude moves up and down the fretboard in eighth-note
scales, with an occasional arpeggio twist thrown in." - Blair Johnston
