Editing Classical guitar (section)

===Modern period===
At the beginning of the 1920s, [[Andrés Segovia]] popularized the guitar with tours and early phonograph recordings. Segovia collaborated with the composers [[Federico Moreno Torroba]] and [[Joaquín Turina]] with the aim of extending the guitar repertoire with new music.<ref>The Guitar (From The Renaissance To The Present Day) by Harvey Turnbull (Third Impression 1978) – Publisher: Batsford ({{ISBN|0-7134-3251-9}}) – p.&nbsp;112 (Chapter 3 – The Twentieth Century) – ''"In Spain Falla's lead was followed by Joaquin Turina (1882–1949) and Federico Moreno Torroba (b. 1891), who began to produce works in collaboration with Segovia."''</ref> Segovia's tour of South America revitalized public interest in the guitar and helped the guitar music of [[Manuel Ponce (composer)|Manuel Ponce]] and [[Heitor Villa-Lobos]] reach a wider audience.<ref>The Guitar (From The Renaissance To The Present Day) by Harvey Turnbull (Third Impression 1978) – Publisher: Batsford ({{ISBN|0-7134-3251-9}}) – p,&nbsp;113 (Chapter 3 – The Twentieth Century) – ''"Segovia's visits to South America also inspired new music. The Mexican composer Manuel Ponce (1882–1948) responded by producing a greater number of extended works than Turina and Torroba had achieved."''</ref> The composers [[Alexandre Tansman]] and [[Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco]] were commissioned by Segovia to write new pieces for the guitar.<ref>Secrets From The Masters (Edited by Don Menn) (Published by GPI Books) ({{ISBN|0-87930-260-7}}), p.&nbsp;236 ''"...&nbsp;he performed a more important task by commissioning material by some of the 20th century's greatest composers, including Heitor Villa-Lobos, Manuel Ponce, Federico Moreno Torroba, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and Alexander Tansman."''</ref> [[Luiz Bonfá]] popularized Brazilian musical styles such as the newly created Bossa Nova, which was well received by audiences in the USA.

===="New music" – avant-garde====
The classical guitar repertoire also includes modern contemporary works – sometimes termed "New Music" – such as [[Elliott Carter]]'s ''Changes'',<ref>[http://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Elliott-Carter-Changes/5117 ''Changes'' by Elliott Carter] – Boosey & Hawkes</ref> [[Cristóbal Halffter]]'s ''Codex I'',<ref>[http://www.universaledition.com/HALFFTER-CODEX-1-S-Gtr-guitar-Cristobal-Halffter/sheet-music-and-more/detailview/UE13991/kid/310013 ''Codex I'' by Cristóbal Halffter] – Universal Edition ({{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20060521015630/http://www.spanisharts.com/musica/ampliaciones/chalfcg.htm score sample]}})</ref> [[Luciano Berio]]'s ''[[Sequenza XI]]'',<ref>[http://www.universaledition.com/BERIO-SEQUENZA-X1-Gtr-for-Guitar-Luciano-Berio/sheet-music-and-more/detailview/UE19273/kid/310013 ''Sequenza XI'' by Luciano Berio] – Universal Edition</ref> [[Maurizio Pisati]]'s ''Sette Studi'',<ref>[http://www.ricordi.it/pubblicazioni/pubblicazioni/import/archive/pisati-maurizio/7-studi-per-chit/?searchterm=Maurizio%20Pisati ''Sette Studi'' by Maurizio Pisati] – Ricordi ([http://contemporaryguitarsblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/interview-with-maurizio-pisati-second.html score sample] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110813231233/http://contemporaryguitarsblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/interview-with-maurizio-pisati-second.html |date=2011-08-13 }})</ref> [[Maurice Ohana]]'s ''Si Le Jour Paraît'',<ref>[http://www.billaudot.com/en/catalog.php?cs=1&dox=Maurice%20Ohana ''Si Le Jour Paraît'' by Maurice Ohana] – Billaudot</ref> [[Sylvano Bussotti]]'s ''Rara (eco sierologico)'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ricordi.it/|title=Ricordi|website=ricordi.it|access-date=15 April 2018}}</ref> [[Ernst Krenek]]'s ''Suite für Guitarre allein, Op. 164'',<ref>[http://www.doblinger-musikverlag.at/Komp/cmp_detail.php?compID=88&sp=2 ''Suite für Guitarre, Op. 164'' by Ernst Krenek] – Doblinger Musikverlag ([http://classicguitarmethod.com/blog/?page_id=474 score sample] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110813164730/http://classicguitarmethod.com/blog/?page_id=474 |date=2011-08-13 }})</ref> [[Franco Donatoni]]'s ''Algo: Due pezzi per chitarra'',<ref>[http://www.esz.mgsdcc.com/en/sc_edz.lasso?-Search&-Database=edz_esz&-Table=base&id=42545 ''Algo: Due pezzi per chitarra'' by Franco Donatoni] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719173820/http://www.esz.mgsdcc.com/en/sc_edz.lasso?-Search&-Database=edz_esz&-Table=base&id=42545 |date=2011-07-19 }} – Edizioni Suvini Zerboni ([http://ethesis.siba.fi/showrecord.php?language=en_EN&ID=396930& Analysis])</ref> Paolo Coggiola's ''Variazioni Notturne'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.preludiomusic.com/pr/paolo-coggiola-partiture-cartacee-variazioni-notturne-2016-656-pr.htm|title=Variazioni notturne - Paolo Coggiola - 2016 - Partiture Cartacee - vari - PreludioMusic - Shop on-line|website=www.preludiomusic.com|access-date=2019-02-14}}</ref> etc.

Performers who are known for including modern repertoire include Jürgen Ruck, Elena Càsoli,  [[Leo Brouwer]] (when he was still performing), [[John Schneider (guitarist)|John Schneider]], [[Reinbert Evers]], [[Maria Kämmerling]], [[Siegfried Behrend]], [[David Starobin]], [[Mats Scheidegger]], [[Magnus Andersson (guitarist)|Magnus Andersson]], etc.

This type of repertoire is usually performed by guitarists who have particularly chosen to focus on the avant-garde in their performances.

Within the contemporary music scene itself, there are also works which are generally regarded as extreme. These include works such as [[Brian Ferneyhough]]'s ''Kurze Schatten II'',<ref>[http://www.edition-peters.com/search.php?keyword=Kurze%20Schatten%20II&searchby=Kurze%20Schatten%20II ''Kurze Schatten II'' by Brian Ferneyhough] – Edition Peters ([http://soundandmusic.org/thecollection/files/scores/6634w.pdf score sample] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727124922/http://soundandmusic.org/thecollection/files/scores/6634w.pdf |date=2011-07-27 }})</ref> [[Sven-David Sandström]]'s ''away from''<ref>[http://www.gehrmans.se/en/shop/instruments-ensemble/away-from-n10412 ''away from'' by Sven-David Sandström] – Gehrmans Musikförlag</ref> and [[Rolf Riehm]]'s ''Toccata Orpheus'' etc. which are notorious for their extreme difficulty.

There are also a variety of databases documenting modern guitar works such as [http://www.sheerpluck.de/ Sheer Pluck]<ref>[http://www.sheerpluck.de/ Sheer Pluck] – Database of Contemporary Guitar Music</ref> and others.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soundandmusic.org/thecollection/resources/collection_advanced_search_results/%2B/E/%2B/0/0/all/0/0/all/0/0/all/0/0/0/0/alt/1/1_gui%252C/Exact/%2B/%2B/1|title=Sound and Music|website=soundandmusic.org|access-date=15 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318103909/http://soundandmusic.org/thecollection/resources/collection_advanced_search_results/+/E/+/0/0/all/0/0/all/0/0/all/0/0/0/0/alt/1/1_gui%2C/Exact/+/+/1|archive-date=18 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au/search?q=Solo+Guitar+Works&x=0&y=0| title = Australian Music Center}}</ref>
