Here is an arrangement that originally started as a duet, but I always had a feeling it would work out as a solo piece. Of course, Tárrega arranged this in the key of A, but I felt the original key of D-flat was possible. The guitar is tuned down a 1/2 step, which i'm really starting to enjoy!
In this piece, the repeated notes represent rain drops, for the full story please check out this great video... • Piano Master Class - M...
In arranging this, it was the logical choice to use harmonics for the "rain drops" as it both provides the delicate sound required, and has the huge bonus of sustaining notes while I shift positions.
Now 83 but lying under my mother's Grand Steinway at 12 years listening to her play this delicate Chopin. Oh, what a great performance Drew. Thank you for your virtuosity and talent.
I'm 54 and I remember layer under our family's Steinway Baby Grand when I was little listening to my oldest sister playing this. Always has been one of my favorite classical pieces.
Chopin translated in meanigful and moving guitar piece. A masterpiece of music art, taste and bravery. Is BRAVO enough?
I love this piece, tarrega's arrangement is great but i look very much foward to see yours! cheers from Brazil
Thanks! I really hope you like it. I tried to keep it relatively true to the original, but adding some guitaristic elements such as the harmonics and a couple strums. The arrangement is new and i've improved a couple of things in the score.
@@DrewHendersonGuitar it's perfect! just heard it. Thank you
@@DrewHendersonGuitar I'm not an expert like you Drew but I love your playing style. I think the masters would all agree that you're one of them!!! Thankyou so much for all your dedication to these beautiful songs. You're very much appreciated!!! 💜👌👏
Rain drop harmonics is masterful, I can't believe you even play it in a thrill in Bar4, clean 6 bar stretch chords are just amazing ....hole piece is played with amazing technique and feel .... you are a true master of the instrument... respect sir ...
The best classical guitar performances are when they do not necessarily sound like a guitar -- just music -- and if you even think about instruments, your swear there is a small ensemble playing. Love Chopin so much, and this is an amazing tribute. Thank you. And I have to add: the calmness you play this illustrates the dedication you've put in -- I can only imagine.
Brilliant! You play those harmonic notes beautifully...its so hard to achieve such an even tone but you do it so well. Thanks.
Just...wow. You do the most beautiful piano piece ever full justice here. Thank you for this.
You are very welcome.
Drew, Drew, Drew, I'm speechless. It must get painful sometimes to get inside the head of past genius and be able to feel their emotions so intimately. You have the Midas touch my friend. Impressive!
Potentially the new standard etude for harmonics.
What a delightful instrument, such a voice. I'd imagine playing it is an inspiration all it's own.
Just as there are many textures of snow and varieties of snowflakes, you dear Drew & Chopin make us realize there are many resonances to raindrops. Thank you for your wonderful expertise in making us realize, once again, what a beautiful and definite language guitar music speaks.
His playing is extremely clean, incredible
beautiful!! I am truly inspired by your playing.
Me too!!! 👍

Bravo maître vous êtes un interprète extraordinaire comme d’habitude ❤❤❤
I feel the original key is actually important... why i almost never change the key in my arrangements. Bravo!! Amazing arrangement and performance as always!
My son sent me this...I am mesmerized! I'm a pianist and I've never heard Chopin done on guitar. Absolutely fabulous. New subscriber
Speechless. Shivers.
thanks for sharing...
beautiful music.. tres bella Chopin
This is unbelievable. Mind blowing
I only turned it on for a moment and I listened to the end of this piece. very nice transcription and well played. Bravo
I totally agree that the original key of a piece is hugely important, and yes the guitar tuned to Eb sounds absolutely wonderful. I always have an Eb guitar handy for these kinds of pieces. You do an amazing job of going huge on the dynamics without flapping the strings about. Bravo!
This arrangement is beautiful. Your playing is godlike. You have a feeling for the little nuances and the right expression.
I just thought I noticed in those closing chords, a hint of Spanish influence. Really! A similar sequence in Albeniz' Caprichio Catalan and other pieces. Wow. I believe Chopin wrote this in Mallorca and was indeed influenced by Spanish themes. Even the rhythmic beat of the 'raindrop' echoes the percussive Spanish style. A beautiful rendition - thank you.
Delightful, this beautiful Prelude of Chopin and your fantastic performance my dear Drew. Thanks for sharing 💖
