Abstract
Andrs Segovia was the primary voice in the world of classical guitar performance during the first half of the twentieth-century. He collaborated with various composers, including Manuel M. Ponce, in an effort to expand the guitars repertoire. Many of the composers Segovia worked with did not play the guitar, making his editorial influence a necessity. This document explores a possible link between the performers collaborative influence and the composers interpretive intent. An examination of the Segovia style reveals an interpretive approach that is based on a consistent method for fingering and arranging music on the classical guitar. The first performance edition in this document details the Segovia style by modifying the urtext based on two sources: Segovias published performance edition and a recording made by Segovia over thirty years after the initial publication date. The second performance edition applies the Segovia style to a composition that has survived without Andrs Segovias editorial influence.
