The newly revised and expanded edition of John Schneider's classic "The Contemporary Guitar" traces the extraordinary rise of the instrument in concert music over the past century. Though recognized worldwide as a popular music icon, the all-to-recent time when the guitar was looked down upon as a second-class citizen in the world of “serious” music is finally past, and it can now be found in the scores of the most important composers. The guitar’s rightful place in chamber music, orchestral music, or as a solo instrument is now without question, whether in the classic acoustic form or the more recent electric version.

While the guitar has stood in the vanguard of musical experimentation, its many new techniques and notations remain a mystery for many composers and players. In The Contemporary Guitar, musician and scholar, John Schneider explains each class of technique and illustrates them with examples. Moreover, because the guitar is easily refretted, it has also become a leading instrument in the exploration of the relatively new musical language of microtonality. In this revised and enlarged edition from the original work of three decades ago, Schneider adds a broad-ranging, entirely new chapter on the instruments, notation and repertoire with insights into the interpretation of historical works through the application of accurate contemporary tunings and temperaments. 

"Schneider's brilliant book is mandatory reading for anyone who cares about the explosion of music and ideas that has characterized the guitar in our time."  
— David Starobin

"It’s a mammoth achievement – a guitarist’s entire education in one volume - and a readable and fascinating one." —Kyle Gann

"This book is a marvel: encyclopedic in scope, inter-disciplinary in a way far too little of our standard literature is, and yet always enlivened by his passion for an immense subject he knows more about than any of the rest of us. I love opening the doors of this cathedral and wandering about in it!"  — Eliot Fisk

When I write music, I try to go on a journey to feel emotions, whatever they may be.  To me, music is a celebration of life; for all the pain and suffering we may endure, it is a gift to be alive. 

I hope music can take you on journeys of your own to places where you may want to be.  Thank you for listening.

Fabio Antonelli was born in Rome in 1966 and studied musicology and composition with some of the great Italian composers such as Ivan Fedele, Mario Garuti and Gabriele Manca. He graduated in Musicology at the University of Pavia (Italy) and in Composition in Conservatoire of Como (Italy), then he graduated at the master level of Composition in Conservatoire of Milan (Italy). He’s also d.doctored in Astrophysics and Cosmology at the University of Bologna ( Italy ).

With his work Antonelli try to give a presentation of the silence of the Universe. This is the project of his creativity. His music consists of fragments that are isolated and suspended in the Void. Summary of his theories that consist in the mathematical, abstract and theoretical definition. He imagines consistency with little forms of energy, maybe ethereal or material. This is the silence he’s searching for, an artistic expression of an energy. His works can be total or opening from little fragments with modern music techniques expressed his personal view.
