Dedicated to Aniello Desiderio and Premeiered by him at the 2009 Coblenz Guitar Festival, here is what Aniello and Classical Guitar Magazine have to say about this work: 'It is always difficult to find the right words to speak about music. Good music, like poetry, communicates with us on a different level to other sounds or words. The best music reaches greater depths with each hearing. This is how I feel about these pieces by Georg Schmitz: they really express something from deep inside, which cannot be expressed with words.' (Aniello Desiderio, Napoli 2009).
