Tecla publishes all of Giuliani’s 22 Works for Guitar & Flute or Violin,  in 2 Volumes:

*  This present Volume 35 (with 10 works), and
*  Volume 36 (with 12 works)

Volume 35 contains the following 10 Works:

*  Op. 19:  Serenade (Violin,  Violoncello,  & Guitar).  A fine work for Violin,  Violoncello,  & Guitar,  and Giuliani’s only known work for this combination of instruments.  Adagio,  scherzo and trio,  and polonaise.
*  Op. 24a:  Variations (Violin & Guitar).  A fine demanding work in which both instruments shine in turn.
*  Op. 25:  Duo Concertant (Violin & Guitar).  One of Giuliani’s best-known works.
*  Op. 52:  Gran Duetto Concertante (Flute or Violin & Guitar).  One of Giuliani’s best-known works.
*  Op. 53:  Gran Potpourri (Flute or Violin & Guitar).
*  Op. 63:  Six Variations (Violin & Guitar).  Contains brilliant writing for both instruments.
*  Op. 74:  Pièces faciles et agréables (Flute or Violin & Guitar).
*  Op. 75:  Zwölf Ländler (Flute or Violin & Guitar).
*  Op. 76:  Potpourri from Tancredi (Flute or Violin & Guitar).
*  Op. 77:  Duettino facile (Flute or Violin & Guitar).

Some of the 22 works in Volumes 35 and 36 are for beginners,  such as the Duettino facile, op. 77,  while others,  such as the Duo Concertant op. 25 and the Gran Duetto Concertante op. 52, are virtuoso pieces.  Some of them are already celebrated,  such as op. 25 and op. 52,  and there are others which are not so well known but which are well worth performing,  such as the Originäl Märsche or the magnificent Duo.  Some of them were originally composed specifically for the violin with guitar,  others specifically for the flute with guitar,  but most of them state on their title-pages that either violin or flute is acceptable.
