Pavlov-Azancheev - The Great Patriotic War Sonata

Product Information
Matvei Pavlov-Azancheev’s Second Sonata, which is presented in this edition, was completed in the Gulag in 1949 and probably intended as a sort of a “musical supplement” to petitions for clemency. The musical matter of this sonata are several tunes well known during the WWII era in the Soviet Union, including the famous Shiroka strana moia rodnaia: (Wide is my Native Country, music by I. Dunaevsky, lyrics by V. Lebedev-Kumach) which served as the call sign of Radio Moscow. Some of the movements are borrowed from earlier guitar pieces by Pavlov-Azancheev. The Great Patriotic War Sonata by Matvei Pavlov-Azancheev was written for the Russian seven-string tuned in a G Major open tuning, i.e.,

D´, G´, B, d, g, b, d´.

The writing is idiomatic for a guitar in that tuning and, it goes without saying, the work would sound best, and would be easiest to play, on the instrument for which it was originally composed. 32 pp.
