Llobet's role in the creation of this work is now confirmed as having been somewhat wider than he has been so far credited with. Newly discovered letters from Falla to Llobet confirming this are reproduced in the edition with English translations. Through these letters, we now know that even in 1920, leading up to the publication of the Homenaje in La Revue Musicale, Llobet was already a close and welcome collaborator of Falla and the former's influence and suggestions were already starting to be incorporated in the 1920 edition, a process which was to continue up to the 'final' Chester edition of 1926 which was and still is a totally justified standard reading of this masterpiece and the main source for our new reading, which is based on a new, faithful and balanced perspective, considered in parallel to Llobet's recently discovered own performing autograph manuscript.

Falla was enthusiastic about Llobet's performances of the Homenaje and he greatly appreciated Llobet's transcriptions of the 'Romance del Pescador' and the 'Canción del Fuego Fatuo'; these together with the Homenaje figured as a 'Triptych' in Llobet's concert programmes. Both transcriptions are published here for the first time, prepared from Llobet's autograph manuscripts.

This volume includes audio files for download of the three works in this volume plus 11 bonus tracks. The audio tracks offer wonderful performances of Llobet's complete transcriptions of Falla's music transcribed for the solo guitar, guitar duo and voice & guitar.
