''Les Guitares bien tempérées'' (''The Well-Tempered Guitars''), Op. 199, for two guitars, is a work written in 1962 by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. It consists of 24 pairs of preludes and fugues, one pair in each of the 24 major and minor keys. The 24 pieces are divided into four books. It has been described as the longest and most important cycle of works ever composed for two guitars.〔(SoloDuo ). Retrieved 25 June 2013〕〔 It was both inspired by and a tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach's ''The Well-Tempered Clavier'', a work for solo keyboard.〔(Naxos ). Retrieved 25 June 2013〕 Castelnuovo-Tedesco had a long artistic association with Andrés Segovia going back to their meeting in 1932, and had written a great many guitar compositions with Segovia in mind.〔(Music Web International ).

Retrieved 25 June 2013〕 From the mid-1950s he also dedicated solo guitar pieces to guitarists such as Siegfried Behrend, Christopher Parkening, Oscar Ghiglia, Alirio Díaz, Laurindo Almeida and others.〔 However, this work was both inspired by and dedicated to the husband-wife duo guitar team of Alexandre Lagoya and Ida Presti.〔〔〔 Castelnuovo-Tedesco wrote the work between 8 March and 3 June 1962.〔〔(Guitar Impact ). Retrieved 25 June 2013〕 Both the title and the structure of the work were inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's ''The Well-Tempered Clavier'', a double set of 48 preludes and fugues for keyboard in all 24 major and minor keys.〔(allmusic ). Retrieved 25 June 2013〕 Bach proceeded in ascending semitones starting at C major, following each major key with its parallel minor. Instead, Castelnuovo-Tedesco used a schema based on the circle of fifths - but not the same solution as used by Chopin in his 24 Preludes, Op. 28 and Shostakovich in his 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87. Instead, Castelnuovo-Tedesco's order for Books I and II was: * G minor, D major, A minor, E major, B minor, F-sharp major, C-sharp minor, A-flat major, E-flat minor, B-flat major, F minor, C major For Books III and IV, the major and minor tonalities were reversed: * G major, D minor, A major, E minor, B major, F-sharp minor, C-sharp major, G-sharp minor, E-flat major, B-flat minor, F major, C minor. 〔 Presti died suddenly in April 1967, aged only 43. Castelnuovo-Tedesco paid tribute to her in a 25th fugue for two guitars, called ''Fuga Elegiaca – to the Memory of Ida Presti'', which was written in G minor, a return to the starting key of ''Les Guitares bien tempérées''.〔 Castelnuovo-Tedesco died in 1968. ''Les Guitares bien tempérées'' was not published until 1974, by Aldo Bruzzichella.〔 The work has been recorded by duos such as Duo Tedesco, Duo Favori, Brasil Guitar Duo, and Matteo Mela & Lorenzo Micheli. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Les Guitares bien tempérées」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
