7/4 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 David, you will probably enjoy Duo Sonare CD called "Duo Sonare plays Zappa, Debussy, Albeniz, Piazzolla" or something like this. It is a classical guitar duo, and they play excellent arrangements for two guitars. Zappa and Debussy pieces are really well done. The CD is long OOP, I got my copy from one of the musicians directly. I probably would! I'll look for it. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I have my own copy now. Transcriptions with a guitar duo playing the harpsichord part. Quite beautiful. Marina Piccinini & the Brasil Guitar Duo - Bach Flute Sonatas. When I'm in town, I get to drive my own car and this has been in rotation all week. I'm really enjoying this one, the guitars could be louder...but I got over that a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Two that I bought years ago for Carter and Babbitt, then never really listened to rest of them. More thoughts later as I dig into them. David Starobin - New Music with Guitar, 1, 2 & 3. New Music with Guitar 5 These look quite interesting. Current thoughts on them? I wonder if any of Feldman's piano music might be transcribed for guitar? I would think the guitar and the recording method would have to be carefully worked out to get the right attack and decay.

7/4 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) I just listened to them a few weeks ago. I think they're great examples of late 20th century music, not much minimalism here.* Feldman transcribed for guitar would be great, I'd like to hear it. It might need more than one guitar! There was a Feldman piece for guitar discovered a few years ago. It's been recorded, but never released. I've never heard it. * I bought 'em for the Elliott Carter and Milton Babbitt years ago.

7/4 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Another thought on transcribing Feldman's piano pieces for guitar: some of the notes might be out of range, too low. Maybe a 10 string guitar would be the solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feldman Guitar Story I rather thought this would have to be an electric guitar, to achieve some of the modulation needed. As an aside, note someone describes Feldman as "the super chill composer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see what Keith Rowe could do with a Feldman piece: Does he play classical guitar or other peoples music? On your first question, I'm not sure what you are asking about. My point was that Coates' is extending the Feldman "style" (not quite the right word) into the guitar rep, but taking a less minimalist approach. There are moments that suggest Feldman-influence, but they are limited. No problem with that. She is entitled to her own manner. On the second question, I don't see it makes a difference, although he does both. It might take someone like Rowe, not a classical guitarist per se, but who draws on many disciplines, to get Feldman transcribed to guitar. So far I'm not seeing the Segovia-centric crowd making the effort. I would just like to see what Rowe would do with a MF piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I shared the Gloria Coates piece because it's a classical guitar thread. I didn't have Morty in mind when I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I guess I was at cross-purposes; have had Feldman on the brain recently. Anyway, quite coincidentally, a friend sent me a link to a 1990 interview of Rowe for purposes quite unrelated to this discussion. As it turns out, Rowe was close to Cornelius Cardew. Rowe also seems to have some acquaintance with Christian Wolff and Feldman. Very interesting bit of musical history. Worth perusing if you have time: Rowe Interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Michael Schäffer - French Baroque Lute Suites 1. Du Fault (died before 1682): Suite in G minor. 2. Jacques Gallot (died circa 1690): Suite in D minor. 3. Esaias Reusner (junior) (1636 - 1679): Suite in A minor. 4. Johann Gottfried Conradi (died 1699): Suite in A major. Interesting, but not as crazy about this as Bach or Dowland. No one else around here shares my current enthusiasm for this stuff, but maybe later they will.
