Beethoven - Andante (from Piano Sonata No. 30, Op. 109, trans. Llobet)

[@Fernwald84]

A wonderful transcription of Llobet's. Your playing here is most expressive, Steven, and the rounder tone of your no-nails technique perfectly suits the ambiance of this movement. A pleasure to listen to! A "hat's off" to you and your teacher(s).

[@StevenWatsonMusic]

Thanks! Very much appreciate the comment.

Wunderschön!!! Bravo Steven. We guitarists are happy to be able to play at least a fragment of Beethoven's music on our instrument, even though it wouldn't make it into the charts these days😄

[@StevenWatsonMusic]

Danke Stefan! There's some more Beethoven-Llobet I hope to learn at some point, if my fingers allow it. I rather enjoy 're-hearing' Beethoven, Haydn et al. through Tarrega/Llobet's interpretations.

Great work thanks Steven. I love your right technique . Pinky slightest rest on sound board. Is this for helping with control ? I video explaination of this style would be great thanks From Andrew in Australia.

[@StevenWatsonMusic]

Thanks Andrew! Yes it helps with control, just as resting the thumb on a bass string does. At some point I would like to make some short videos on these kinds of topics -- might be a good summer project..!
