Transcriptions of guitar music

[Phillip]

Much Spanish piano music seems to have been transcribed for the classical guitar, but are there any concert transcriptions of classical guitar music for piano?

i found some free, but probably easier than you were looking for, guitar music under:

www.guitars.org/links01.html

and  www.eythorsson.com/music/1111.pdf (is one example)

maybe you could add more to it - but would at least have the start *(much like scarlatti)

The Godowsky-Albeniz Tango is lovely.

The tango is indeed lovely, but it is a transcription of a simpler piano piece by Albeniz.

granados twelve spanish dances was on our tv classical station this morning, and someone played it on guitar FANTASTICALLY.  in a very spanish style, but was not jerky (you know what i mean) when they sped up and slowed down.  it was a revelation to hear how SLOWLY some movements are and how slow to fast (gradually - is extremely beautiful) others are.  sometimes pianists want to get from a to b too fast (myself) and i would advise on this piece to listen to a great guitarist first.  unfortunately they didn't give the performer's name.

they didn't have clear recording abilities in granados time did they?  wondering if it was granados himself?  b. 1867 or something.

*granados tragically died when trying to save his wife from drowining after their boat was torpedoed in the english channel.

These 12 Dances were also transcribed from piano to guitar and also for orchestra, even though they are most often heard on the guitar.

Any other good examples that fit the description of the original post?  I've recently become interested in this particular subject of research.

Thanks,

If we limit choice to spansh music, I can think only of Recuerdos by Tarrega, mentioned on another thread. (Perhaps Rodrigo's concerto could be arranged for piano.) Otherwise Villa Lobos 5 preludes have been arranged for piano & work very well.
