Marche Funêbre and Bolero by Bayer

2020

Marche Funêbre and Bolero by Johann Gottfried Eduard Bayer (1822–1908). No. 21 and No.22 from his Guitarreschule. Free PDF Sheet Music or Premium Tab for Classical Guitar. Left hand fingering. Level: early-intermediate (Grade 3-4). These two works are from German composer and guitarist Johann Gottfried Eduard Bayer’s (1822–1908) method book (Guitarreschule). I would aim for some contrast in tempos with a slower funeral march and a more active Bolero. Great student works without much difficulty but lots of musical ideas and dynamics to work with.
