A Review of Sergio Assad's Seis Brevidades for Solo Guitar
Sergio Assad is one of the most prominent and influential guitarists and composers of our time. Along with his brother Odair, he has performed and recorded as Duo Assad, a guitar duo that has received worldwide acclaim for their virtuosity, musicality
and repertoire. Sergio Assad has also written numerous works for solo guitar, chamber music and orchestra, exploring various styles and genres from classical to jazz, Brazilian to world music.

One of his recent compositions for solo guitar is Seis Brevidades (Six Short Pieces), which he wrote partially in Chicago and partially in Paris in 2008. The set is dedicated to his brother Odair, who also provided the fingerings for the edition
published by Les Editions Doberman-Yppan. The six pieces are not meant to be played as a suite, but rather as independent miniatures that can be mixed and matched according to the performer's preference. Each piece represents some aspect of a journey
through a single day, from morning to evening, and reflects the composer's impressions and emotions in different places and situations.

The first piece, Chuva (Rain), is a serene and delicate composition inspired by a rainy morning in Chicago. The melody is supported by subtle harmonies and arpeggios that create a gentle atmosphere of calmness and contemplation. The second piece, Tarde (
Afternoon), is a relaxing and easy-on-the-ear piece that evokes a warm afternoon in Chicago. The music flows smoothly and gracefully, with some syncopated rhythms and jazzy chords that add some spice to the texture. The third piece, Feliz (Happy), is a
lively and optimistic piece that expresses the feeling of elation when "you are really having a great day". The music is energetic and playful, with some fast passages and percussive effects that showcase the technical skills of the performer.

The fourth piece, Ginga (Swing), is inspired by a stroll by the side of the Seine River in Paris. The music has a rhythmic drive and a catchy melody that suggest a sense of movement and joy. The fifth piece, Cantiga (Song), is a melancholic and nostalgic
piece that reflects the mood of sundown in Paris. The music is lyrical and expressive, with some modal harmonies and chromatic inflections that create a poignant atmosphere. The sixth and final piece, Saltitante (Bouncy), is an energetic and bouncy piece
that depicts the composer's rush home to get out of the evening rain in Paris. The music is fast and lively, with some irregular meters and accents that add some excitement and challenge to the performance.

Seis Brevidades is a collection of six charming and diverse pieces that showcase Sergio Assad's compositional talent and stylistic versatility. The pieces are not very difficult to play (around Grades 6-7), but they require a good sense of musical
expression and interpretation. They are suitable for intermediate to advanced players who want to explore some contemporary guitar music that is original, accessible and enjoyable.
