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!

Paul Kennedy Thanks, Paul, I appreciate you listening. I discovered this piece on Rob MacKillop's website.

Hello, this is the first time I joined in this activity. What do you mean by Virtual Masterclass? We posted video here and will receive feedback later?
Here is the largo (winter) piece. Many thanks in advance !
-
Steven Liu Hi Steven! Exactly, I will give Live Feedback to your video submission in the livestream on Apr 19th! I will happily take a look at your video :)
-
Martin as I am in different time zone than Europe ( I am in Hong Kong), can we look back the livestream video later after April 19?
-
Steven Liu yes, this can be rewatched, so you are not going to miss anything!
-
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!

That is really beautiful Eric! Thank you
End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
