Partita A minor

Jan Antonin Graf Losy von Losinthal is known under the name of Johann Anton Logy. He lived from around 1650 till 1721 and is considered one of the most important Bohemian lute players who became familiar with both the Viennese and the French style when travelling around. His compositions for the guitar have been preserved in the form of many tablatures. Apart from dance movements, he also composed variations and character pieces for the baroque guitar using the tuning aa-Dd-gg-bb-e', which was quite popular in France. This edition has been rearranged for the modern guitar and annotated (as are all books from the STEP BY STEP series) with detailed information on playing techniques. This makes it an excellent choice for introducing Baroque performance procedure.
