My latest challenge - learning Asturias, by Isaac Albeniz. One of my favorite pieces ever...
Asturias comes from the Suite Española, a suite for solo piano. It is thoroughly Spanish, and extremely guitaristic. It is far more well known from its guitar performances than the instrument for which it was intended. Yet, I wonder if maybe Albeniz wrote it under inspiration from guitar music. For it fits the guitar perfectly...
I've posted a video at the following link. I know the video has imperfections, but try to focus on the music itself... not my flawed performance. :)
I'm planning to record this piece for my next guitar CD, which will hopefully finished by late summer.
