Virtual Masterclass with Tárrega, Pujol and Vivaldi!

It is time for another VIRTUAL MASTERCLASS! I am super excited to bring back this exciting opportunity and unique virtual experiences for all community members who can't participate in the interactive classes!

Videos I will look at:

Eric Phillips Pujol: Becqueriana

mgshirk Prelude V by Franciso Tarrega

Steven Liu Vivaldo: Largo (Winter) from the Four Seasons

HOW VIRTUAL MASTERCLASSES WORK:

  • You send in a video of yourself performing a piece, movement of a piece, or even a passage from a piece. Alternatively, you can submit a passage of sheet music for me to give you targeted advice on.

WHERE AND WHAT TO SUBMIT?

  • Submit right here, by replying to this thread!
  • You can either attach a video directly from your computer, or paste a link to a YouTube video
  • (If you opt to use a YouTube video, it can be unlisted - no need to make it public!)
  • Please also attach a link to the sheet music.

I hope you will find this opportunity as exciting as I do!

  • What era of music would you have liked to experienced live (just from a pure musical perspective, haha)

  • I'll submit this short but beautiful piece by Emilio Pujol. From what I understand, it is a homage to Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, a late 19th-century novelist who influenced the Romantic nationalist movement in art, literature and music. The score is attached. I'd love to hear your thoughts on fingering, phrasing and musicality.

    • Eric Phillips Beautiful Eric!

    • Martin Many thanks Martin for your comments.  They have been most useful.  One short question is the advantage of CAMPANELLA fingering : is it for the notes to "sustain" longer?

      Steven Liu You are very welcome, thank you for your submission! Campanella is for sustaining the notes longer and a harp-like legato! It's a technique used often by lutenists in order to have the same legato as a keyboard or harp instrument, it has a very unique sonority!
