With the exception of the No. 2 Prelude in A Minor, we have followed the original notation for these pieces closely. This second Prelude, a Vivace utilizing primarily 32nd notes, was fairly crowded in the original handwritten manuscript. By changing the direction of the highest voice, flat-beaming the 32nd note figures, and relocating some 32nd rests to the center of the staff, we were able to create a less cluttered score. With the exception of a few details that were in the original score there are no fingerings for the right or left hands. Working through these pieces develops both technique and velocity, while giving you insights into Giuliani's writing style and the harmonic progressions of classical era works.

The Prelude and Fugue for the Left Hand Alone was completed in 1931, the year before he returned to Mexico. Although composed in steady eighth-notes, the Prelude subtly projects the 3+3+2 rhythm so characteristic of Spanish dances. Against this rhythmic backdrop, Ponce creates a gentle, mournful lament. The French harmonic influence in this work is especially prominent in the threevoiced Fugue, reminiscent of the richly chromatic style of Cesar Franck's Prelude, Choral and Fugue. Here, Ponce is intense, sombre, and compelling. Guitarist Gregg Nestor gave the European radio premiere of his arrangement of the Prelude and Fugue on the BBC (London) in 1982 and its American début on December 12th, 1986 at Holy Trinity Church in Alhambra, California during the concert series sponsored by the then-named Guitar Association of Los Angeles.
