20 pieces for guitar : Suite in D minor — 20 pages
In 1941, this manuscript was transferred from the Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music to the Music Library of the Glinka State Central Museum of Musical Culture in Moscow.
Revealed to the Western world only in 1963, we now know, thanks to his analysis, that it was neither written by Weiss nor written in Dresden, but in Russia approximately ten years after his death.
A number of pieces are of doubtful origin and are still the subject of open debate. In his work “The Moscow “Weiss” Manuscript” (Orphée 494-02144, 1995) Tim Crawford sheds interesting light on the subject.
The Moscow Manuscript can be ranked third in importance after those of London and Dresden. Especially since it contains many high quality pieces and some truly unique.
This arrangement presents the first suite in D minor from the manuscript, arranged for solo guitar.
