Great idea to go back to the original source. Many pieces played in the repertoire today by Albeniz and Granados were originally authentic piano pieces first. It'd take me too long to get back to where I was playing piano in college, but I'm glad to hear you kept it up! Also, I just posted a cassette transfer of a guitar album I think you'll enjoy, but mostly I'd be interested in hearing your analysis of the transfer. Cassette quality isn't great anyways, but I was able to successfully clean up the hiss with noise reduction.
Yea and some of the pieces become more familiar/popular on guitar than their original piano counterparts...but so much Spanish piano music sounds soooo good on the guitar so I guess it's not surprising lol. I've played piano on and off almost my whole life. I'm definitely not at an advanced level but there's so much in the repertoire that's intermediate and sounds great (like this). I love piano. I will listen to your cassette transfer tonight! I must have missed it...
Huh, so this isn't a folksong then? Fascinating research as always! It sounds as lovely to me as your guitar recording. I'm always slightly disturbed by how passable these digital soundsets are...
That's right- thanks Steven appreciate it! My piano playing is pretty rusty but I hope to polish it up. Llobet apparently was a decent pianist also...and he was married to a professional pianist so there was probably always a piano in the home. It really is incredible how good these piano sample libraries are these days. I've got another one that's really cool that I hope to use soon: an 1873 Erard Grand :)
@@StevenWatsonMusic Yes and apparently he was quite a painter as well, that guy must have had art running through his veins haha. I played piano throughout all my years of nail playing and it usually wasn't a problem as long as they weren't massively long. I knew the point where they would start clicking on the keys and tried to keep them under that point. I would guess that Llobet had fairly short nails also 👍

@@tateharmann3057 Look forward to it! Didn't know Llobet was a decent pianist. He must have had short nails then.
