Book excerpt: La guitarra es el instrumento musical más universal y extendido entre la población de todo el mundo y una de las más importantes aportaciones de la cultura hispana a la civilización mundial. Pero poco se conoce de sus orígenes, su historia y sus principales intérpretes, hechos que apenas aparecen en los libros de Arte o Historia. ¿Cuándo y dónde surgió la guitarra? ¿Cómo eran las guitarras de otras épocas? ¿se tocaba la guitarra en otros países de Europa? ¿dónde actuaban los guitarristas? ¿qué diferencias hay entre la guitarra clásica y la flamenca? Son preguntas que en alguna ocasión nos hemos planteado y cuya respuesta podrá encontrar en este libro. Historia de la guitarra y de los guitarristas españoles le propone disfrutar de un histórico viaje a lo largo de la evolución del instrumento hispano por excelencia y de las fascinantes biografías de sus grandes intérpretes de todas las épocas. Desde la Edad Media hasta nuestros días, desde la vihuela renacentista y la guitarra barroca hasta la guitarra clásica y la flamenca, desde Luys de Milán y Gaspar Sanz hasta Andrés Segovia y Paco de Lucía, pasando por guitarristas de enorme prestigio y categoría desconocidos para la mayoría de los españoles, como Fernando Sor, Dionisio Aguado, Francisco Tárrega o Miguel Llobet. Todo ello en una narración asequible y entretenida, que sin lugar a dudas les irá descubriendo muchas e interesantes sorpresas.

Download or read book Recording the Classical Guitar written by Mark Marrington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recording the Classical Guitar charts the evolution of classical guitar recording practice from the early twentieth century to the present day, encompassing the careers of many of the instrument’s most influential practitioners from acoustic era to the advent of the CD. A key focus is on the ways in which guitarists’ recorded repertoire programmes have shaped the identity of the instrument, particularly where national allegiances and musical aesthetics are concerned. The book also considers the ways in which changing approaches to recording practice have conditioned guitarists’ conceptions of the instrument’s ideal representation in recorded form and situates these in relation to the development of classical music recording aesthetics more generally. An important addition to the growing body of literature in the field of phonomusicology, the book will be of interest to guitarists and producers as well as students of record production and historians of classical music recording.

Download or read book The Birth of Loud written by Ian S. Port and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A hot-rod joy ride through mid-20th-century American history” (The New York Times Book Review), this one-of-a-kind narrative masterfully recreates the rivalry between the two men who innovated the electric guitar’s amplified sound—Leo Fender and Les Paul—and their intense competition to convince rock stars like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton to play the instruments they built. In the years after World War II, music was evolving from big-band jazz into rock ’n’ roll—and these louder styles demanded revolutionary instruments. When Leo Fender’s tiny firm marketed the first solid-body electric guitar, the Esquire, musicians immediately saw its appeal. Not to be out-maneuvered, Gibson, the largest guitar manufacturer, raced to build a competitive product. The company designed an “axe” that would make Fender’s Esquire look cheap and convinced Les Paul—whose endorsement Leo Fender had sought—to put his name on it. Thus was born the guitar world’s most heated rivalry: Gibson versus Fender, Les versus Leo. While Fender was a quiet, half-blind, self-taught radio repairman, Paul was a brilliant but headstrong pop star and guitarist who spent years toying with new musical technologies. Their contest turned into an arms race as the most inventive musicians of the 1950s and 1960s—including bluesman Muddy Waters, rocker Buddy Holly, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton—adopted one maker’s guitar or another. By 1969 it was clear that these new electric instruments had launched music into a radical new age, empowering artists with a vibrancy and volume never before attainable. In “an excellent dual portrait” (The Wall Street Journal), Ian S. Port tells the full story in The Birth of Loud, offering “spot-on human characterizations, and erotic paeans to the bodies of guitars” (The Atlantic). “The story of these instruments is the story of America in the postwar era: loud, cocky, brash, aggressively new” (The Washington Post).

Download or read book Domenico Scarlatti 26 Sonatas for Solo Guitar written by Rafael Guerrero Verdugo and published by Rafael Guerrero Verdugo. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Domenico Scarlatti did not write a single piece of music for guitar, from his almost six hundred sonatas for harpsichord that have come down to us, more than two hundred have been transcribed for solo guitar over the last century, which probably converts the Neapolitan genius in the most transcribed author in the history of the guitar, in terms of number of pieces. Nowadays there are still many gems to discover inside the Scarlattian treasure, and this new collection intends to continue expanding the repertoire from Scarlatti adapted for guitar, searching among all the untranscribed sonatas. So, the most of the pieces from this book are unique transcriptions. The transcriptions are fully fingered, to ease the student’s work. Contains the sonatas: K26, K35, K45, K49, K97, K121, K141, K160, K189, K230, K234, K258, K281, K287, K294, K295, K298, K306, K311, K315, K351, K360, K418, K420, K425, K435.
