Allegro in A Minor, No.13, Op.50 by Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) – Lesson, Performance, and Sheet Music. This is from my PDF or hardcopy sheet music edition for classical guitar: Le Papillon, No. 1-32, Op.50 by Mauro Giuliani. Grades 1-7 and includes both a notation-only edition and a tab edition.
Le Papillon (The Butterfly), Op.50 by Mauro Giuliani consists of 32 pieces published by Giuliani in Vienna in 1815. The works are presented progressively from easy to mid-intermediate depending on the tempo. Le Papillon is a beautiful set of works which are perfect for students, professionals playing gigs, or players looking for nice easy pieces to practice or perform.
I would place this study at approximately the grade 3 level depending on your tempo and if you are muting the bass notes. Here’s the YouTube Link for this lesson if you want to watch it there.
Thank you very much for this lesson and the accompanying sheet music. I used this piece for my grade 2 ‘free choice’ option and found a slightly different LH finger pattern that removed the need to ‘jump’ from the LH second finger to the third finger for the A notes in the middle of the second measure. Starting with LH finger 3 (rather than 2) for the A notes in bar 1, the notes in the bass run can be formed with LH finger 2 (D note) and 4 (C note) instead of 1 and 3. The second bar then keeps the LH finger 3 for the A notes, giving a Dminor-shaped chord using fingers 3 4 and 1 instead of the more usual 2 4 and 1. It was a little trickier at first and it took a little more time to get used to, but it helped me with legato playing in bar 2.
Hi, I’m assuming you mean “B” with 2 not D. In the D minor chord in measure 2 how do you play the F? I would not want to lift off 4 from the sustaining D on the second string.
