Giuliani, Mauro - op.050/12 Allegretto in C major - Video

[Nick Cutroneo]

Hey all -- new video up today! This is a short Moderato by Giuliani in C major. I wasn't able to find the opus number, but it appears that he's written quite a few studies with this texture of a lower arpeggio and a melody on the higher strings. It kind of reminds me of a piano piece, with the left hand playing the arpeggio and right hand playing the melody. Anyway, it's a great piece to work on balancing of voices and bringing out the melodic line out of the thick texture. There's also some great voice leading in the inner voices which I like to bring out, to me it adds a 3rd dimension to the piece.

If anyone knows what Opus this comes from, please let me know as I was unable to find it.

Thanks!



Edit - Apparently the edition that I have titled this piece "Moderato", but it's actually titled Allegretto.

Yes, I was confused hear Moderato while it was written Allegretto.
But well played.

Thanks for posting the video! This piece indeed sounds quite piano-like. It was very nice to hear such careful work on the arpeggio and the melody line!

Luuttuaja - thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed the video. Balancing the melody and the arpeggios is extremely important in this piece, but very rewarding in the end.
