Unlike other editions on the market today, this one starts from the original 1808 edition and establishes a completely new modern re-engraved text, rigorously authentic and without any changes from the original. Anyone wishing to play this work in public, or to record it, will find that this edition provides the authentic text. There is a preface setting out the circumstances of the original edition.

See the first page of the new (re-engraved) edition.

FEBRUARY 2005: "I was thrilled with the edition.  Scholarly work, beautifully engraved, page turns optimized, high-quality paper. Outstanding, in fact." (a guitarist, Jack Watson, on this Tecla edition of Giuliani's Sonata op. 15, TECLA 0497).

MAY 2001: Here is what a guitarist wrote on receiving the Tecla edition of Giuliani's Sonata op. 15:

"I received my order today and I am delighted with the editions. Thank you! Having studied the Giuliani Opus 15 I can appreciate the quality of the urtext edition. It is a true joy to read from this score, as I now only have 1 page turn, which occurs at the best possible location in the piece. Also, the score is faithful to the original 1808 edition which saved me many, many hours of work given the urtext readability. In my master class studies with [a teacher], he pointed out the many errors and re-writes in the modern edition I was using. The 1808 version has many subtle yet critical differences in dynamics, markings, slurs, etc., which have made me completely rethink the interpretation, phrasing, and fingerings. Even the opening melody line is corrupted in a later edition's error in the tie marking, which has been carried forward to countless modern editions and copies. Just shows once again the value of a primary source. It is a welcome change to play uncorrupted period music."
