Serenata Espanola by J. Malats

I would like to re-visit this old Spanish masterpiece arranged by F. Tarrega.  The melody is beautiful, and although composed for the piano, it is very guitaristic.

I intend to take a fresh look at it with its various techniques including arpeggios, slurs, scales, etc. while trying to keep the melody singing.

Martin,  if I connect my Focusrite with the pair of CM4 mics, how will Zoom handle left and right channels?  (Obviously when  doing a "recording," this is set up for stereo with Reaper.)  Not sure what happens with a live Zoom stream since there is no DAW in the loop.

    Barney what a fantastic choice, I'd like to play that piece myself at some point. But then again, I'd like to play every piece there is 😅

    You can enable the original audio mode of Zoom via following these steps:

    1. Sign in to the Zoom desktop client.
    2. Click your profile picture, then click Settings .
    3. In the navigation menu, click Audio .
    4. Under Music and Professional Audio, select the Show in-meeting option to enable "Original Sound" check box.
      The Original Sound setting will be displayed in in the top left corner of your meetings .
    5. (Optional) Select the High fidelity music mode check box.
    6. (Optional) Select the Echo cancellation check box.
    7. (Optional) Select the Stereo audio check box.

    Here's the full documentation for that: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115003279466-Using-and-preserving-original-sound-in-a-meeting#h_7845b217-db22-44f5-9163-7978496d953f

    Personally, I'd go for Mono in the concert, just to save some bandwidth for people with a weaker internet connection!

    • Barney I'm sure you will... no pressure, it's like playing for yourself, but with others that enjoy what you do at the same time.

  • I have heard Pepe Romero telling a nice story with this piece : his mother at the age of 15 was waiting for the first time at her guitar teacher at home. When he opened the door she saw a very young guy...and she told him:" But you are the teacher? you are vey young!" , he answerd :" Yes but I am Celedonio Romero". He played this Serenata for her...and she falled in loved!!!!! It is not absolutely great!!!?

      Nora Torres-Nagel Thanks you for sharing Pepe's story!  I'm wondering if that is one of the reasons Pepe often plays this piece in his concerts.
