While technical mastery of the piece you are playing is always the first priority, what then separates good players from a solo virtuoso is the incorporation of dynamics in tone, volume, phrasing etc etc, and it's this aspect that the audience particularly connects with because you're then much, much more able to guide their emotional response to your playing way beyond that achieved through technical mastery along. All the 'greats' have mastered both.
Absolute gold! Thank you so much for sharing. I am currently getting back into classical guitar and using this piece to work on trem. This lesson is great. We are truly fortunate for having this to study. Thank you, again.
Great repor with this student , wonderful lesson , thank you for sharing. Just wish the audio was clearer. Really have to strain hear David's instruction.
This is a beautiful piece open to differing artistic interpretations---the key is to be emotional and play with tempo and volume changes--excatily where is a bit subjective----just make sure you don't sound like a typewriter---for me I keep the tremole light and in the distance with that base knocking is where I play with the tempo and dynamics. You know you played it right if you are holding back the tears. A knocking at the soul by the angle of death.
Thank you very much for this enlightening and to the point masterclass! It’s wonderful to be able to observe even online such classes.
