Thank you! It's good to know that my research doesn't go unnoticed.

@@ClassicalNerd this great composer series is amazing. I had just finished Zappa and Webern before coming here. Really, really interesting, well made and everything. Keep it up, man

Brincadeira. A Europa é o centro da alta cultura.

I was about to comment this. I always liked if

I don't cover living composers in the _Great Composers_ series, because career retrospectives are impossible to do if the careers in question are still ongoing-sorry!

Understandable. Keep up the awesome stuff man. I really enjoy your videos.

As fascinating as that topic would be, I'm far from the person to be able to adequately answer that; a similarly academically-minded friend of mine, a brilliant guitarist, believed that such a study would be a good, weighty doctoral dissertation!

Good one

I think the implication in the video is that when you move a shape up and fretboard and play just the notes in that shape, then the chord quality stays the same. So for example if you make a first position E major shape and play just strings 3 4 and 5 and then move the shape up and down you're just going to make a series of major chords. Villa-Lobos uses this kind of thing quite a lot. But it's also true that if there are any open strings then as you move the hand up and down the fretboard you're also changing the quality of the chord, and Villa-Lobos clearly also enjoyed the interesting harmonies that could be produced just from moving a shape around but including open strings. The contrast with piano is that if you were making a major shape and wanted to move that up and down the keyboard in strict parallel movement, you'd have to keep changing the shape to take into account the sharps and flats, so harmony that uses a lot of strict parallel movement comes less naturally to a pianist than to a guitarist. I think was the point that the video was trying to make, and I think it holds true when you consider how Villa-Lobos uses parallel movement - I recommend checking out the 5 preludes for some really good examples of how this is used in his music, especially the 1st and 4th.

Lauro is now in the extensive request pool.

Seconded! Lauro was incredible!

Primeira vez que ouvi alguém dizer que não é bem visto, na verdade 😂 É uma das minhas peças favoritas dele.

He has been added to the near-endless backlog that is the request pool: www.lentovivace.com/requestqueue.html

@@ClassicalNerd Thank you!

You're the second person to request Sor: lentovivace.com/classicalnerd.html

Joplin has been moved up in the request pool and Rimsky-Korsakov has been added to it.

Maybe reconsider making comments on old videos whose production values do not resemble what I do today?

@@ClassicalNerd Guilty: I didn't realise this was from 2018 ;-)

you mean BANANAS VERSUS LEE HARRIS!!?
