More Chopin for Guitar: Live Concert

"Bach is like an astronomer who, with the help of ciphers, finds the most wonderful stars . . . Beethoven embraced the universe with the power of his spirit . . . I do not climb so high. A long time ago I decided that my universe will be the soul and heart of man." --- Chopin

I think Chopin's piano music transfers really well for guitar - let me know what you think in the comments! The delicacy of the guitar captures some of the more intimate moments of Chopin's music. The way that the instrument's overtones wash over each other reminds me of a piano's sustain pedal.

Chopin wrote almost exclusively for the piano, but his pieces were transcribed by guitarists who were around during and in the decades after his lifetime - Tarrega (1852-1909), Mertz (1806-1856), Sagreras (1879-1942), G. Fortea (1854-1931) and Bobrowicz (1805-1881).

This program will feature transcriptions of Chopin, as well as music inspired by him from such composers as Agustin Barrios, Francisco Tarrega, members of CCG and myself :-)
