Dr. Jovan Jovicic is one of the greatest twentieth-century Yugoslav guitar pioneers. It is by no means an exaggeration to say that, thanks to him, today a large part of the creative and interpretive work being done in all six republics of the former Yugoslavian federation is focused on the expressive possibilities of the classic guitar. This collection of selected concert guitar works by Jovan Jovicic includes most of the pieces which the artist himself performed and recorded during more than 50 years of his successful career. This is the first integral publication ever printed outside of Jovicic' s native country in which the music is adapted, revised and arranged exactly according to the composer's interpretation. Notation only.
