About this exposition

Name: Antero Pellikka Main Subject: Classical Guitar Research supervisor: Patrick van Deurzen Title of Research: Arranging the Mystery Sonatas by H.I.F. Biber for the guitar Research Question: What strategies can I take when arranging pieces with melody and continuo for the guitar? Research Summary: Throughout the existence of our instrument, guitarists have been arranging and transcribing music written for other instruments. Many compositions that are not originally written for the guitar have gained a place in the standard repertoire. Especially making arrangements of Baroque violin music is a long established tradition. My research aims to continue this tradition by presenting three arrangements of the Mystery Sonatas by Heinrich Biber, who was undoubtedly one of the most famous violinists and composers of the 17th century. This research describes the arranging process of these compositions and how a classical guitarist can use the basso continuo practise as a central tool when arranging pieces with melody and continuo. Some performance aspects of 17th century music will also be discussed as well as different arranging methods for the guitar. The final product of this research is the arrangements of Mystery Sonatas III, IV and V by Heinrich Biber, which show the information gathered in the research paper in practice. The presentation will go deeper into different methods I used in making these arrangements visually through PowerPoint and contain audible examples of my arrangements. Biography: Antero Pellikka (born in 1988) is a Finnish guitarist.
