Andr\u00e9s Segovia<\/a> gave the classical guitar an instrumental hierarchy, collaborating closely with great composers and showing the different colours of sound that this instrument can provide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We leave you a part of the documentary “Andr\u00e9s Segovia en la Casa de Los Olivos” where the master teaches us the timbres of the guitar.<\/p>\n

\n

How is it that, although the guitar enjoyed great success in the 19th century, there was still no repertoire when you started out?<\/h2>\n

The guitar is a very complicated instrument. As it is the only really polyphonic string instrument, it is impossible to compose if you don’t play it and if you don’t play it well.<\/p>\n

It’s like an orchestra that we can see with binoculars upside down. What I’m trying to say is that the guitar contains all the instruments of the orchestra<\/strong>, but on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n

It has many tonalities, a great diversity of timbres and it is necessary to develop these qualities of the instrument. More than listening to music, it’s about dreaming with music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Do you mean that when a composer writes you a piece, you then decide what key to use, or do they dictate what they want?<\/h2>\n

When they dictate to me the orchestration of their guitar work, I almost always laugh because it’s impossible. What they intend is impossible.<\/p>\n

What is the initial reaction of composers when you ask them to write for guitar?<\/h2>\n

The initial reaction becomes permanent because, from the very beginning, when they hear someone play one of their compositions on guitar, they don’t stop writing for guitar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Castelnuovo<\/a> has already composed around 140 pieces, Ponce the same, Torroba, Turina, Transman, Villalobos. They have all gone on to the end.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
