Czech guitarist-composer Stepan Rak is regarded as one of the most creative and innovative guitarists of the late twentieth century. Eclectic and unique, his music combines depth of expression with technical innovation and brilliant virtuosity. Despite numerous recordings and published editions, however, much of Rak's best music remains unpublished or unavailable. This volume contains five concert works written between 1986-89, each displaying a unique facet of Rak's compositional style: Elegy - Hommage a Sibelius, The Czech Fairy Tales, Aria de Bohemia, Song for David, Sonata Mongoliana. 

“nothing Western compares with it, nothing has this incredible force and energy. This book brings before everyone the work of a very special musician - an inspired writer with an immense array of brilliant techniques to interest, entertain and astonish. Good to see these excellent works in print at last." CLASSICAL GUITAR MAGAZINE
