Steve Goss: Interpretation & Analysis - Improvisation: a Tool for Understanding Style (Apr 25) Questions / Suggestions
The time has come!!! 
Prof. Steve Goss will be joining us for the final livestream in the interpretation and analysis series - and this is by far the one I'm most excited about!
In this series, we took three pieces from standard guitar repertoire and analyzed them from three separate points of view: harmony, rhythm, and now improvisation as a practice tool.
Due to the highly unique point of view applied in today's lecture, no participation in any previous session is a prerequisite for taking part in this livestream.
In this session, Prof. Steve Goss will discuss the use of improvisation during practice as a tool for understanding style.
The three works used to demonstrate this technique are:
- Bach's Prelude from the 1st Cello Suite (BWV 1007)
- Sor’s Study in C Op 6 No 8 (Segovia Study No 1)
- Falla’s ‘Homenaje pour le tombeau de Claude Debussy’.
I can't wait for this stream - given that I don't think I've ever used improvisation as a tool for understanding style, I'm looking forward to learning so much in this session!

Hello everyone! The materials that Steve used in our livestream were a bit too large for the forum software, so I uploaded them on the tonebase servers instead. Download them here:

(They're only 30 Mb, nothing too crazy - but we do have a hardcoded 12 Mb attachment limit here on the forums. So here they are!)
