Clothbound in handsome black and gold TECLA 0908. The clothbound copies of this title unfortunately have dampmarks (not too bad but they are there). However, one person who bought one of these clothbound copies wrote that the clothbound stand up better on the music stand and that that was more important to him than to worry about a few marks.

This Volume 8 contains seven works for guitar solo, in reprints of the first editions:

• Op. 61: Grande Ouverture. The well-known dramatic and often recorded piece. This work is also available from Tecla published separately
• Op. 62: Six variations on an original theme
• Op. 64: Six variations on the Russian air “Poschaluite sudarina” (this fine set of variations, which may be compared with op. 60, combines the popular nature of the Russian tune with Giuliani’s inventiveness. The sixth variation is in the form of a lively polonaise
• Op. 70: Variations (from Guitar Concerto op. 70)
• Op. 71: Three sonatinas (easy pieces for beginners. The third of these three sonatinas is also available from Tecla in a new re-engraved edition
• Op. 72: Eight variations on a duet from the opera “Jeannot et Colin”
• Op. 73: Bagatelles
