12 Monferrine op. 12

The keys of the twelve pieces are carefully varied to make a set: E, A, D, G, C, F, d, D, A, D, G, C. All the pieces start on the second beat of the bar, and all the pieces are in the form ABB.
No. 9: I start on the second string, at the tenth fret, with the second finger, which is surely what Giuliani intended. The passages at bars 2-4, 6-8, and 14-16 could also be well performed high up on the strings. 
No. 9: in his Studio per la chitarra of 1812, Giuliani describes the ornament which is here in bars 6, 12 and 14 as strisciato. He writes: “si striscia fino alla nota di melodia, facendo risuonare tutti gl’intervalli, a guisa dell’abbellimento, che nel canto si chiama portamento di voce” (“the left hand finger slides up to the melody note, sounding all the intervals on the way, in the same way as in the portamento in singing”). Also no doubt the downward ornament in bars 1, 5 and 13 is also a glissando (and not an ornament performed by pulling the finger away).
No. 9 bar 1: the second bass note is G sharp. However, when this passage comes again at bars 5 and 13, the second bass note is E. Personally I think it is fine the way it is.
