Twelve Inventions Peter Nuttall
Level: Grade 3-4
This collection of original compositions has been described as a “classic”. Since publication in 1984, it has become firmly established as one of the most popular collections of guitar music at this level. Strong melodies, idiomatic harmonies and an inventive use of the guitar fingerboard are features which characterise these pieces. They have also been regularly used by various examination boards.
The pieces have been recorded by Alison Bendy on her CD “Danza Mora”, as well as by Brian Perkins on his CD “The music of Peter Nuttall”.)
