"The A major sonata, presented here for the first time in an arrangement for violin and guitar, is originally one of Schubert’s finest and largest works for violin and piano. The piece lends itself very well to being idiomatically transcribed for guitar. I have tried to stay quite close to Schubert’s original text in my transcription and I invite any guitarist interested, to also keep the original piano part close at hand while studying the work. Surely, working with the original text side by side with this transcription will inspire to other solutions to certain passages that might suit the individual interpreter better.
It is my hope that this new arrangement will find its place within the repertoire for violin and guitar and that it will make audiences as well as musicians aware of how natural and beautiful Schubert’s music sounds on the guitar."
