The
composer says: The title of the “10 studies in Kaleidoscope” refers to the
wide variety of styles and various techniques contained therein. Like a rotation
of the kaleidoscope, with each turn of the page the guitarist will encounter
something different to entertain, amuse and consider. These studies were written
not only for the student in need of fresh material that deals with traditional
technical and musical problems but also for the diversion of more advanced
players, who can perhaps spot the specific stylistic references and for whom
this collection may also resemble a pleasant afternoon of cloud-gazing.
