Fab playing, I've enjoyed listening to the AUSTRALIAN GUITAR MUSIC CD so much. The recorded sound of the Smallman was the best I've ever heard, to me they usually come across as brittle and dry and unlike their warmer sound when heard live.
Yes, I actually got a copy from my teacher at my university. The 2nd movement doesn't fit too well on the guitar, but I really love the 1st! I haven't looked at the 3rd movement yet.
Composer Ross Edwards assures that Ricordi London will soon publish an updated version. The version here is largely, though with a few significant momentary diversions, the arrangement made by Adrian Walter and published by the Darwin International Guitar Festival around 1993-1995. It is not widely available for sale. Re: macmanue's comment, the 2nd dance is the trickiest to get one's head around, but it DOES work v. effectively. When the CD comes out in March, compare arrangement vs. recording!
You won't. It's originally for marimba and I imagine this is probably Aleksandr's own arrangement. I don't think it's been published for guitar but I stand to be corrected.
ahh! this fits the guitar so well!

@MrArdelco1970 Me parecer que la usa porque es australiano, además de ser magníficas guitarras.

This guy is an amazing musician. That guitar has ugly, nasal sounding basses.

The sheet music is available. I have it. Difficult to find but it is out there. I think there are three movements.
