Darius Milhaud

Segoviana op. 366

The vast musical production by Darius Milhaud (Marseille, 4 September 1892-Geneva, 22 June 1974) is made up of more than 450 titles, including theatrical works, ballets, stage and choral music, vocal and instrumental compositions, as well as chamber and piano music. The guitar, on the other hand, occupies only a marginal place, with one short composition, written in 1957, entitled Segoviana. The Andalusian guitarist Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) was not only its dedicatee but its protagonist, seeing that the piece was conceived in his image.

The present edition, edited by Frédéric Zigante, differs from the first one of 1959 for a layout that makes reading easier and the addition of fingering indications.
