Marche Funêbre and Bolero by Bayer

Marche Funêbre and Bolero by Johann Gottfried Eduard Bayer (1822–1908). No. 21 and No.22 from his Guitarreschule. PDF Sheet Music for Classical Guitar. Comes with both a notation edition with left hand fingering and a separate tab edition in the same pdf. Level: early-intermediate (Grade 3-4).

My PDF Sheet Music Edition Edition

These two works are from German composer and guitarist Johann Gottfried Eduard Bayer’s (1822–1908) method book (Guitarreschule). I would aim for some contrast in tempos with a slower funeral march and a more active Bolero. Great student works without much difficulty but lots of musical ideas and dynamics to work with.

My lesson covers how to pair and contrast the works, some of the fingering, and I do a walkthrough of each work. YouTube Lesson Link.
