The Guitarization album presents five new pieces for solo guitar that were commissioned and premiered within the Guitarization project 2022 in Belgrade and Novi Sad (Serbia). Eminent composers of different generations and aesthetic approaches offer a new perspective on writing for the guitar (some of whom encountered composing for this instrument for the first time). The importance of the project lies in expanding the repertoire for the guitar and introducing the audience to the current tendencies.
