Score Details

Complimentary study - no. 39 in D Major

for Early Intermediate Guitarists

This solo guitar piece in D major, written for early intermediate players, combines resonant open-string textures with fluid slurred melodic fragments that shift across the fretboard.

The music encourages exploration of higher positions, blending clear diatonic harmonies with occasional, unexpected harmonic turns to keep the listener engaged.

Its lyrical flow, gentle colour changes, and balance of technical accessibility with musical interest make it both a rewarding study and a charming recital piece.
