Francis Kleynjans is a French classical guitarist and composer who has written numerous works for the guitar. One of his most notable compositions is the "Barcarolles (2) for guitar, Op. 60," which was composed in 1997. The "Barcarolles (2) for guitar, Op. 60" is a set of two pieces for solo guitar. The first movement is marked "Andante" and the second movement is marked "Allegro." Both movements are written in the key of A minor. The first movement, "Andante," is a slow and lyrical piece that is reminiscent of a barcarolle, a type of song traditionally sung by Venetian gondoliers. The piece features a flowing melody that is accompanied by arpeggiated chords and gentle harmonies. The overall mood of the piece is peaceful and reflective. The second movement, "Allegro," is a faster and more energetic piece that contrasts with the first movement. The piece features a lively melody that is accompanied by rapid arpeggios and intricate fingerpicking patterns. The overall mood of the piece is joyful and playful. Overall, the "Barcarolles (2) for guitar, Op. 60" is a beautiful and expressive work that showcases Kleynjans' skill as a composer and guitarist. The piece is well-suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who are looking for challenging and rewarding repertoire to add to their repertoire.
