En escalas rápidas
Ali Arango comparte consejos para tocar escalas rápidas en reposo.
La lección comienza con las reflexiones de Arango sobre los movimientos físicos de los dedos, la mano y la muñeca y cómo ha cambiado su enfoque a lo largo de los años. A continuación, Arango explica la diferencia entre dos tipos distintos de apoyos: clásico y picado.
Después de hablar de cómo abordar el cruce de cuerdas, Arango demuestra cómo estudiar las escalas con ejemplos musicales que incluyen los Estudios 7 y 12 de Villa-Lobos, el Concierto de Aranjuez, el Zapateado de Rodrigo, el Concertino de Bacarisse y, por último, el Zyryab de Paco de Lucía. (P.D. ¡No se pierda la actuación especial hasta el final!)
For the first of four lessons on each movement of Antonio José’s Sonata, Zoran Dukic begins with historical background around the life of the composer and the disappearance of his manuscripts for almost sixty years. Zoran emphasizes throughout that this piece was composed in a very piano-like style, making it difficult to execute precisely on guitar, but he provides lots of valuable suggestions to make the piece go smoothly. The first movement contains two main themes, each with a motif that develops gradually and brilliantly.
Zoran talks down musical issues surrounding rhythms, fingerings, added and altered notes, as well as the difficulty of playing with a balance of passion and reason. Finally, he concludes with a segment he calls the ‘Situation Room’, where he presents a number of challenging measures and gives secrets for simplifying the musical content while keeping the intention.
For the third movement of Antonio Jose’s Sonata, Zoran Dukic discusses the importance of getting deep into the appropriate mood of this piece. Technically, this is accomplished by having a clear idea about the meaning of the piece, and controlling note length, tempo, and dynamics accordingly. Zoran also emphasizes expressive elements like vibrato and rubato, and the pitfalls to avoid while implementing them. Since lots of Jose’s writing is very difficult or impossible on the guitar, Zoran offers revisions and tips that improve the playability.
Throughout the piece, it’s important to look for fingerings that create the exact sound you’re looking for, and that help make your interpretation unique. Finally, Zoran explains each section in terms of the emotional impact it should have, and how to create continuity throughout the movement. By the end of this lesson, you’ll know how to develop a personal interpretation of the movement.
In this lesson, Zoran Dukic breaks down the second movement of Antonio Jose’s “Sonata” for guitar. Jumping straight into the first measure, Zoran outlines the differences between this movement and a typical minuet, then moves through common mistakes and tips bar by bar. Zoran focuses on using your technique to create the right interpretation, going over the specifics of finger placement, fingering positions, pressure, and articulation, among other things. It’s essential to keep this movement very light, in contrast to the first movement.
Zoran clarifies common confusion surrounding tempo terms like ritardando and rallentando, before explaining where and how to make note changes to this very pianistic piece. While this lesson is brief, there is much insight to be gained from a close study of its contents!
