    @bdenore7994 10 місяців тому

    Ironically you sum it up perfectly in your mispronunciation of the title. La Grima is definitely not the teardrop, more like something unpleasant.

  • @globalonemusic2381
    @globalonemusic2381 10 місяців тому

    This was clever, indeed. :) If you are going to do with other pieces it is best to initially stick with the recognizable and easy pieces. 1) As far as the A/B/A format is concerned, your next effort should be "Romanza". :) 2) Then, the Sor Study No.5. 3) THEN, you should do Leo Brouwer's Etude No. 6 with the standard right hand fingering....but backwards. 4) THE then the Villa Lobos Prelude No. 4 and Etude No. 1. Boy...that would be a way to "get to know a piece of music". THAT would be impressive. :) Excellent concept. :) Antoine

  • @deLeonGuitarStudio
    @deLeonGuitarStudio 10 місяців тому

    Sounds good. Technically, the bass note at the beginning of bar 14 is sounded for the entire bar when played forwards, and should have been sounded for the entire bar when played backwards. It certainly would sound that way if you took a recording and played it backwards.

    • @tollmusic9313
      @tollmusic9313 10 місяців тому

      That's true! Any longer note around shorter notes would, when flipped, take up more space than I gave them (though in a backwards recording I imagine the attack would be such that the emphasis would still be where I'm putting the actual notes). I ended up doing it this way because it's easier to follow along with the score. Would be cool to hear with those changes though!

  • @RichardBuckman
    @RichardBuckman 10 місяців тому

    Maybe you should try it backwards in the sense where you're thinking about the notes as playing or not. So if there is one quarter note played at the same time as an eighth note and then another eight note tied to the first, you'd play the second note at the same time as the quarter note instead. And a whole note would still be played on the first beat even though it would be next to the fourth quarter note, if that makes sense.

    • @tollmusic9313
      @tollmusic9313 10 місяців тому

      It does! I thought about this but in the end opted doing it this way because visually it's easier to track (and for me to read). This would be the more correct way though.

  • @capitalcity2913

  • @thorton3041
    @thorton3041 10 місяців тому

    An interesting but unfulfilling experiment. The melody disappears and thus the emotional tension/release cycle is absent, leaving no particular desire to hear it again.

  • @klaskrantz
    @klaskrantz 10 місяців тому

    Sure, if this was a piece by Shoenberg... This is an intresting experiment, maybe funny, and very nicely done and beautifully played, but as useful and interesting as reading Shakespeare's sonnets backwords. Backwords the music lacks meaning and beauty. Only the beautiful sound of the guitar and mr Tolls excellent playing remains . The musical structure in it selve is empty. It makes no sense. Playing western late romantic music backwords breakes every possible music theory rules. It simply doesen't work. Playing a simple candenza like C-F-G7-C backwords makes no sense in western music. The circle of fifths is engraved into the core of our musicl unerstanding. With a different set of rules, like mirror fuges and 12-tone theory it is ofcourse possible to use principles like retrograde themes, but your mind and ears are tuned to a different musical language. I just wonder - what's the point?

  • @Gongchime

    I do that too. I also play each measure forward, stating on the last one. You can also turn the score upside down and play it forwards or backwards.

  • @jerryrobertsguitars
    @jerryrobertsguitars 10 місяців тому

    notice that the name of the composition has a written accent over the first letter "a" therefore the accent on the first syllable. it is a very fine composition just as Francisco wrote it, no need to fix that which aint broke.

    • @TheDzungTa
      @TheDzungTa 10 місяців тому

      You meant when Toll Music pronounced "Lagríma" with the accent on the 2nd syllable at the start of the video, he should have pronounced as "Lágrima" with the accent on the first syllable, for correct pronunciation of the title of the piece? 🤔
