Giuliani: Six Variations on an Austrian Folk Song, Op. 49
Here's a new home video I cooked up: a lovely theme and variations by Mr. Mauro Giuliani, the infamous Italian guitarist of the 19th century. Many guitarists nowadays find his music exceptionally dull. However, I find (some of) his music quite dynamic!
During Giuliani's time, opera was all the rage, and I'd be surprised if the hyper-romantic virtues of that genre didn't influence Giuliani's own music. Therefore, I like to imagine each variation as a different operatic moment - perhaps the entrance to a stately general, a comedic jester, or a sorrowful aria.
By the way, the name of the Austrian folk song is "I bin a Kohlbauern Bub" which translates from German as "I am a cabbage farmer boy."

Sérgio Assad: Valseana
Переглядів 4842 роки тому
Here's an aged video I stumbled upon from early 2020 - I'm talking beginning of the pandemic, can't leave your house, no access to a barber... This is originally from a set of three movements called "Aquarelle" (translates to "watercolor") by Brazilian guitarist Sérgio Assad. The Valseana is the second of these three and hands-down one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for guitar. I've ...
"Rosa" by Pixinguinha (arr. Dyens)

If you were wondering if "rosa" translates from Portuguese to "rose," then you'd be right! Give yourself a pat on the back! The tune is originally from Brazil, written by one of the most famous black musicians in the country: Alfredo da Rocha Viana Filho, or better known as Pixinguinha. I originally heard this arrangement performed by Odair Assad when I was a teenager and immediately fell in lo...
