Carcassi’s 25 Etudes op. 60 are famous and have gone through many editions. Generations of guitarists have known them and played them but this Tecla edition is different. It doesn't simply copy another modern edition but goes back to the original editions for its sources. In 2010 the guitarist and teacher Heinrich Jochen wrote-

“The Carcassi opus 60 (this edition) is really a fortune, since any other edition I had viewed contained too much added fingering foreign to Carcassi’s”.

This Tecla edition broke new ground when first published in 2006. It is based on a detailed re-examination of the original sources. This is a complete definitive and urtext edition with only the original fingering. The edition has a new introduction and includes notes on technique and interpretation.

This edition establishes a new and fully reliable text, fully practical, with comments on every piece, at a very reasonable price, easily available in digital or printed form worldwide. These Etudes were originally published only after Carcassi’s death in 1853. The only known two original editions contain many problems in the text. This edition examines those problems in detail and finds solutions. This is a standard edition for students.

Chris Malone, who teaches guitar in Toronto, wrote in March 2021- “My compliments, by the way, on your (Brian Jeffery's) edition of Carcassi’s Op. 60. I work on many of those studies daily, and your insights into the right hand technique, in particular, are very useful to me. The Tecla edition is my favourite and I recommend it to students and players alike now.”
