Allegretto in C Major, Op.59 by Matteo Carcassi (1792-1853). Free PDF sheet music, performance, and lesson video for mid to late-beginner or easy-intermediate classical guitar. I recommend playing this work either during or after my Method Book Volume 2.

This comes from Carcassi’s Méthode complète pour la guitare, Op.59. This is a great piece for the melodic and arpeggio textures involving all the right hand fingers. It also offers some dynamic contrasts to work on and more rapid arpeggios for the late-beginner or early intermediate.

This is part of a collection of easy supplemental pieces after my free Classical Guitar Method Volume 1. or during my Classical Guitar Method Volume 2. This is a nice easy work without any oddities or awkward fingerings. The collection I’m forming will add a few extra pieces for students to play before they move on to my graded series or just for enjoyment and extra practice.

Here is the YouTube lesson link if you want to watch it there.
