Exquisite transcription of a timeless masterpiece. There are plenty of free tabs on the internet but if you are serious about learning this piece, purchase the score (with the correct fingering) and save yourself a lot of time and heartache. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Beautifully transcribed and played. I bought the music and will attempted to work through the “tarantula” bars, as one commentator described it. The sheet music package I purchased included other gems such as Granados Spanish Dance no. 2, Oriental, and I’m working through the harmonic passages that are a stout challenge for me. One comment; the initial email links to download the sheet music didn’t work but within 24 hours LAGA customer tech support had rectified. Excellent service. Thank you folks!!!

This is a great arrangement. I ended up purchasing it for myself. I already owned Barrios’ transcription of the Adagio, but I found it a bit clunky. Don’t get me wrong, Barrios was a brilliant composer and arranger, but his aesthetic was of a different era. I ended up re-fingering and re-voicing much of it. So I started looking around for another transcription that was both musically accurate and playable. Dr. Sabuncuoglu’s transcription is the best I’ve come across. Some arrangers try to fit every note they can into a transcription, but just because you can find a way to play it doesn’t mean the transcription will sound musical. Either that, or they simplify it so much that it isn’t musically satisfying. What I like about this transcription is that it sounds and feels like Beethoven’s work, but is also (relatively) comfortable to play on the guitar. Dr. Sabuncuoglu has made some very wise choices in voicings and fingerings. I look forward to digging into this version.
