Thank you very much for this enlightening and to the point masterclass! It’s wonderful to be able to observe even online such classes.

So I really want to know why this chap decided to go to a recorded masterclass with one of the greatest modern classical guitarists in his pajama bottoms???

一つ一つの音の出し方やビブラートひとつとっても、プロの技術の高さを改めて知りました。

The girl is But this is such a priceless advice. Thank you

David Russell is an amazing teacher i would love to have a class or lesson.

Does anyone know what guitar make Mr. Russell is using?

Great master David Russell

i love it when david russell is being passionate at teaching! great human being. barssss

Спасибо большое маэстро я лишний раз убеждаюсь в своей правоте, когда я своим ученикам говорю что надо обязательно слушать и слышать мелодическую линию на протяжении всей пьесы и выделят и контролировать

If I slow this down 10x it will be perfect for me. 😂

Thank you for sharing this.

Lucky you.

While technical mastery of the piece you are playing is always the first priority, what then separates good players from a solo virtuoso is the incorporation of dynamics in tone, volume, phrasing etc etc, and it's this aspect that the audience particularly connects with because you're then much, much more able to guide their emotional response to your playing way beyond that achieved through technical mastery along. All the 'greats' have mastered both.

What a wonderful man!!

Thank You so much!

This is a beautiful piece open to differing artistic interpretations---the key is to be emotional and play with tempo and volume changes--excatily where is a bit subjective----just make sure you don't sound like a typewriter---for me I keep the tremole light and in the distance with that base knocking is where I play with the tempo and dynamics. You know you played it right if you are holding back the tears. A knocking at the soul by the angle of death.

It’s so hard to transmit / communicate these things! They talk about the same paragraph but they are a world apart and the gap is rarely bridged.

I feel that anyone who attends a master class like this needs to be a certain standard to begin with. All master classes are about musicality not so much about technique the master expects you to have already achieved a certain level of skill in your playing before attending. I think the master here was being very kind to you in his appraisal .

Some of this information is redundant and possibly misleading. It is better to revert to the original piano score, which is one key above the arrangement. Watch out for the E natural harmonic minor tone descending and not E flat. (in the piano score) The rule is that the accidental continues for the whole bar unless flattened again (which is in the key signature). I noticed other wrong notes later as well when compared with Albeniz original. Also the E in the bass of the first harmony continues as a 'pedal' into the succeeding dominant 7th harmony, as the F does in the Albeniz original. My advice for what it's worth ? Get a good licentiate diploma with harmony and counterpoint as part of the syllabus and possibly some composition lessons for a few years and THEN look at some of these keyboard works. If possible, avoid Segovia and others . . . they had no academic training, least of all in composition. Piano lessons are also helpful. If you haven't even passed Grade 8 theory ABRSM, then you are on shaky ground. D C Roberts Ex University of Wales Music Dept's Cardiff and Swansea tel 07939663419

Mesmerising human being.

how many years you are working to play this piece?

His comment on the first appearance of the G minor as the dramatic moment is really interesting. I play the Barreuco transcription and he keeps that line an octave lower. One nice feature of that transcription is that he is able to continue the rhythmic bass figure under that scale run on Bb (5:22). Neither David nor the student seem to be doing that, so I wonder which transcription this is.

You're the luckiest person

Oh Dear... there are Levels. Seeing a Master at Work. Hard to believe what I See ❤

Gran profesor: paciente, atento y amable.

I wish I hadn't put the camera directly under the air conditioner....

Currently busy with this piece for my June exam so this really helped! 🇿🇦

A more effective guitar teacher than Segovia, and a more tactful one than Julian Bream.

Absolute gold! Thank you so much for sharing. I am currently getting back into classical guitar and using this piece to work on trem. This lesson is great. We are truly fortunate for having this to study. Thank you, again.

David is so great!!! I think the Student has not studied enough to face this fantastic work, it is very difficult, but with David he will group

Gentlman doesnt feeling the form and emotion.

The most kind and genius person I've ever seen we love you David !

why are you wearing pajamas brother? i think it's fucking with your timing

wow

14:49 Thank you for posting these series of master classes. The choice of Granada makes the class appealing to the audience. Love the comment “Keep it flying” to explain keeping the tempo of melody line moving forward. I studied this piece with Bill Viola, founder of the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society. Posting in memory of Mr Viola, an original guitar enthusiast and teacher

A parte la "sintassi e grammatica" della e nella musica, dove sta scritto che è come dici? E chi lo dice?🤔

Great maestro, candid, compassionate. For Sure Segovia could had used some of this.

Maestro David: wonderful class, gentle and candid, and of course deep, I dare to say what a contrast to Segovia masterclasses where he often appeared as a "Cruel Tormentor".

Beautyfull masterclass

Un privilegio recibir una clase de un gran maestro.

👏👏👏

Classical guitar players suck so bad in rhythm.

What a boring affair

I was a kid into Metallica, in my 20s thinking I was good, saw John Williams play this on TV….only 1 guitar. I kinda gave up. There are not enough hours in the day. 30 years on,still not enough hours in the day. Some peoples brains are just way more impressive than mine. Nothing I can do…sob sob

What tuning is this?

These VL preludes tempt so many to try without the required absolutely solid technique and attention to detail , they are so beautiful and at a glance seem so accessible and almost casual but fall apart quickly if the player is over extending themselves, they are full of nuisances and ornaments and every one of them essential to the integrity …. I should know I’ve butchered them for years! 😳😂

Wow. That's a beast of a song. Very cool to see this process. Thanks for sharing.

david russell a une façon douce et diplomate , ont vois qu il fait de son mieux pour mettre a l aise l élève et le garder confiant ! c est assurement une bonne personne , avec une sensibilité bien placé ! et quel guitariste !!!!

Who made that student's guitar? Such a wonderful wood.
