mesqueunsub - I have the Paganini Guitar School, so he must have invested time in the instrument :-)

Hi J, what is the Paganini Guitar School? I don't know if I posted this before but you can hear Steidl playing Paganini on KZfaq 'Pavel Steidl plays Paganini Part 1'. You have to turn the volume up but it's incredible and he uses an instrument of the period I think. I wonder how many people can actually play his compositions never mind put feeling into them. What I love about sheet music is it means the masters of today can display and perform the music of the masters before recording was invented. I think Pavel Steidl is one of the few on the planet who can actually do this successfully. The harmonics alone are a technique that would be beyond most people, they are so beautiful too. I'd love to travel back in time to see Paganini perform both violin and guitar. And you're right, he must've invested a lot of time in guitar to be able to compose such music on it. Incredible.

I found a "newer" published book: The complete works for solo guitar Nicolò Paganini (1782-1840) Publisher: Chanterelle Editor: Giuseppe Gazzelloni 208 pages www.boosey.com/shop/prod/Paganini-Niccol-Complete-Solo-Guitar-Works/2035855

Thanks a lot J. That looks like it would be a great book if it's got easier tunes for beginners as well. I might buy it just to look at the sheet music of the harder pieces and go wow look at all those stems! I hope you're enjoying it and managing to play some tunes. Must be great to say to friends you can play Paganini ;)

How can you go through the trouble of accurately listing the years of Giuliani's birth and death and then giving him his daughter's name Emilia ? His name was MAURO GIULIANI.

Yes I agree. I see my error. Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately I cannot edit my entry at this date. The man's full name is Mauro Giuseppe Sergio Pantaleo Giuliani .

Alberto, if you talk about the _instrument_ he plays, it is Nicolaus Georg Ries guitar, 1838, Vienna (Austria).

Me too..;-0)

Pavel told her a joke backstage that she suddenly remembered again. He is also very funny and loves people.

I think only the great musicians can express what they are playing, most musicians concentrate on making sure it is played. Although I think there are famous orchestras throughout history who could achieve what you suggest. They must have been blessed with the finest instrumentalists.

A moronic comment!

Smaller room, smaller orchestra and respect of the sound their accompanying without playing super loud.

asdasdasd plus a guitar player not using nails..

@@odysseyandecho that wasn't always the case. There were instruments of the lute family played with nails, like the theorbo for example. That would have been a matter of taste. Some guitarist played with and some without nails. About Giuliani no idea honestly.

asdasdasd sor definitely didn’t, but there’s some evidence Giuliani and Aguado may have. Either way the use of nails on guitar wasn’t made popularized until Tarrega in the late 19th century.

😂😂😂❤❤❤

what's so funny his facial expressions?

goblins trollswitches yes?

Hahah! Pavel reminds me of the scrappy grade school kid we all knew of

Kid Steidl

1830s NYC Martins look exactly like the guitar in this video. German design.

Martin came from Germany; hence much of the fabulous American guitar tradition; this looks like a replica Stauffer. Oh for the days of sleeve-notes! ...and what playing! fabulous articulation and, tone production.

You could tell that Pavel could hardly wait to hop into this piece as the orchestra played at the opening. This man plays with his whole heart and soul.

Pavel Steidl viene a ser, en ese sentido, como otro gran interprete, el genial Glen Gould, que murmuraba lo que iba tocando. :)

pienso igual

Hay una reverberancia exagerada en aquella sala de concierto.)

Works alot with my ear

Lo que no tiene sentido es una guitarra del siglo XIX rodeada de instrumentos del siglo XX mucho más potentes y un micrófono que "electriza" el bello sonido de la guitarra antigua.

Guitar revived by Tesla et al , electronics, amplification, etc

No creo. Pero si es cierto que la orquesta corre más que la guitarra.

While I think it's beautiful playing, I can't help but agree with you that the guitar mic should be louder as if it was a piano piece it would be much more prominent.

The guitar is a parlour (parlor) size (bodied) guitar. Around WWI the Dreadnought size body was invented. The larger body size projected well and was louder in the days before the microphone. A parlour guitar with a small body does not project as well. The miking is part of the problem. At the least two mikes one pointed to sound hole and one at fret 12 are required. The guitar should be behind a plexiglass shield in order to isolate the instrument from the orchestra background clatter. The orchestra sound is being amplified by the guitar mike as it is not shielded or isolated from that sound. Also a bit of compression inserted in the audio path would liven up the instrument. I'll bet that live this performance was amazing. True mastery in composition and presentation.

Plexiglass. Thanks for the info. I have not seen any videos with a plexiglass. What other effective methods other than a plexiglass are there?

Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo.

Eccome !!! Specialmente a causa del "direttore" (magari prima faceva il vigile urbano.....) :)

Ma vai in culo
