Pierre Petit (1922-2000) Toccata pour deux guitares

We open our concerts with the Srnade op.96 n.1 by F. Carulli. This is one of the few pieces performed that doesnt belong to Lagoyas trascriptions neither to the compositions which were dedicated to them in 20th century. The Tonadilla for 2 guitars of Rodrigo was created in 1959 and dedicated to Ida Presti and Alexandre Lagoya and it provides a stylized picture of Spain, purified from every mannerism. Every work for 2 guitars of Castelnuovo-Tedesco belongs to his third creative period, when he came to this kind of composition to correspond the needs of Presti-Lagoya duo. Sonatina canonica and Fuga elegiaca were created in this new style, dedicated to the recently departed guitarist, Ida Presti. The Toccata was written in 1959 by Pierre Petit, French composer and director for many years of the cole Normale de Musique in Paris.
