Hannah Murphy: Paris in the 19th Century - Sor, Carcassi, Carulli, Coste
Kick-Off for "Around the 19th Century Guitar World!"
This Week: Paris in the 19th Century - Sor, Carcassi, Carulli, Coste
When Fernando Sor carried the tradition of classical guitar out of Spain during the Napoleonic wars, Paris was a hub for classical guitar composition, performance, and innovation. We will be looking at music by the classical virtuosos Carulli and Carcassi as well as the prolific late romantic composer Napoleon Coste.

AAAAHHHHHHH! I could not have picked a topic that brings me more joy than this! I am beyond excited!
-
Eric Phillips yes! My absolute favorite too
-
Hannah Murphy I have enjoyed your playing so much on YT, and I’m really looking forward to learning from you and taking part in the challenge.
-
Eric Phillips I see you're rubbing it in Eric.
Curse you dreaded Romantics! 
( I actually have a lot of pieces to choose from - but I have to maintain my reputation. 
) -
Jack Stewart please treat us with a few of your choice. I don’t give much about reputations anyway.
-
joosje Jack Stewart hmm... Joosje, I think Jack is talking about keeping his true reputation as a romantic guitarist here!
-
Blaise Laflamme Ouch!
-
joosje Not to worry, Joosje. Eric and Blaise enjoy taunting me mercilessly
because I have mentioned that the Romantic period is my least favorite musical period. Actually I very much like the shorter 'character' pieces such as Chopin's Mazurkas and waltzes (
). But I tend not to care for the larger works. -
Eric Phillips I think that is supposed to be spelled; AAAAARRRRGGGHHH! (sorry- a little slow on the uptake.)
-
Jack Stewart it's because we love you!

-
Wow... the challenge is hosted by Hanna?
