The series 'Music for Guitar' by Karl Scheit has a fixed place in educational and performance repertoire. Karl Scheit's immeasurable service to the expansion of guitar literature and the communication of fundamental educational ideas is unparalleled.

With the New Karl Scheit Guitar Edition Universal Edition is maintaining these standards in producing excellent quality editions of high educational value which can be regarded as the continuation of the Karl Scheit series. We have chosen three guitarists as editors who all enjoy an excellent reputation both as performers and as teachers; guitarists who have happily, and with great care and enthusiasm, taken on the task of continuing the work of Karl Scheit as he would have wanted.
