Sor, Fernando - op.06/11 Etude Segovia no.17 - D07 Video

[Grant]

Hi All,
So here is another version of Fernando Sor's op. 6/11 etude, a little slower than some others, enjoy

[Erik Zurcher]

Lovely, Grant. I enjoyed hearing you play and I never get tired of Sor's music.

[Grant]

Thanks Erik,
There is something very appealing about Sor's music.

Very nicely played. Clear, ringing tones with the melody lilting over it all. This is one of my favorite Sor pieces. I personally like the tempo you play it at. I've heard it played blisteringly fast and always felt that playing fast just doesn't do this piece quite the justice it deserves. Thanks for posting this.

I enjoyed that very much Grant. You captured the feeling in this music.

Very nice, never heard it played this slow before, but it does work very well and I like the way you bring out the melody of the tune.

Hi Grant,Wonderful performance

[Gil_Wade]

Very well done Grant. You play it at about the speed I play it...I play most things slower than others tend to. It makes the music available for more emotion and interpretation in my opinion. There are two or three places where it sounds different from mine...I need to check my music to be sure I'm playing the correct notes. I play from the Segovia Studies...is this possibly that you are using a slightly different version from another source?

[Steve Sharp]

beautifully played

I am learning this piece at the mo. I am finding it hard to find the version you play. In bar 6 there is a C to B in bar 7. In the version i have its an F# to B in 7. I have the Delcamp version as well and its also the same. Do you play the Segovia study's version?

[Jeffrey Chan]

Nice playing and recording/editing.

Just getting into the Sergovia etudes now and hearing well played versions is really helpful. What kind of recording/video setup did you use ?

Wonderful performance Grant!

Sounds great at this tempo. It has a kind of dreamy quality to it.

Same here, around 1:33 on the video I'm positive I play that differently, but I play Segovia's version if that makes any difference.

Anyway, I think this is very nicely performed and echo all the other praise.
