[@melloncollie5401]

The movie “Anatomy of a Fall” brought me here and I am very pleased.

[@thomaspeters5889]

I'll trade you...Middle of the Night, a song by Elley Duhé brought me here. This piano piece by Albeniz was infamously transcribed for guitar and renamed Leyenda and has been a staple of classical guitar repertoire since at least the beginning of Andres Segovia's stage career. I have played the classical guitar for the last 45 years and naturally I studied the transcription early in my career but through the years I have listened to recordings and watched countless players perform Asturias (Leyenda). The song by Elley Duhé (Middle of the Night) Is based on this piece and it is intentional. I just needed to hear the original piano version after hearing Duhé's 'Middle' instead of the tired guitar version, that's how I got here. I hope you enjoy the song if you should decide to listen, she's quite the vocalist and yes I will check out the film or the very least the soundtrack.

I would like to thank you all for your comments about Asturias!! Originaly for piano and transcribed for guitar, as a very inspired ‘flamenco’ piece, works differently but perfectly in both instruments. Then dear all... it’s all a question of personal taste! That’s music about! Anyway... we have already more than a million reprod.!!! Thank you all!

But your playing makes it sound natural for the piano. I’ve never enjoyed it before on the piano, and I’m a pianist. The variety of tone that you got was very beautiful and expressive. A stunning performance!

Excelente interpretación, pienso que Albéniz no es de los compositores más conocidos fuera de España, pero esta interpretación de Asturias (de donde era mi padre) es de lo mejor que he escuchado al igual que con Alicia de Larrocha. Pienso que para tocar música española hay que ser español o querer mucho a España para poder sentir cada nota. Luis Fernando Pérez una gran felicitación por tan excelente actuación.

No matter the instrument, this is a beautiful piece of music. I looked at this as an alternative to mastering the guitar TAB. Seeing this has convinced me to persevere with the guitar version. This will be tricky but nowhere near as tough as trying the piano version.

[@luizguilhermesilva7298]

It's hard because the sound of guitar playing is more "liquid" and I expeted the same dynamic. But it's great! Hard piece!

[@magicbjorn]

It is possible to encapsulate a likewise feeling with this piece on piano. But then, in my opinion, it needs to be played slower, so you can take the time to really capture what this song is about. Nontheless, this man's playing is extraordinary. Certainly something I cannot reproduce at this moment :p

[@deutschesmaedchen]

well, it WAS intended by Albeniz to be played on a piano. The guitar adaptation doesn't do the original music justice.

[@stamatisvragas7720]

@@deutschesmaedchen well, if he was here to choose I think he would choose the guitar one

[@DonHaka]

@@deutschesmaedchen i personally like the guitar arrangement more than the original since its much easier to encorporate the "liquidity" that Luiz mentioned. I dont like the piano version as much just because it sounds way to harsh and fast.

This is so utterly spectacular that of course I have subscribed to your channel. I very much hope there are many other examples of your playing to look forward to! I've just gone through many guitar performances of Asturias here on KZbin, though I knew it had been written for piano - so I thought I must hear the original piano version - and then I discovered this video. No wonder the audience cried out in appreciation at the end! And the piano does convey various remarkable ... effects which are not possible on the guitar. As people say nowadays, awesome. Because your performance literally IS awesome.
