I learned and memorised this about 18 months ago, I recall that it took more a little thought to sort out a fingering that satisfied me. Since then I've been occupied with several much longer works and this has slipped from fingers. But this has motivated me to revise it and compare solutions, thank you for taking the time with this channel, it's far better than most. Now subscibed, not something I generally do.

Thanks for subscribing. Hope you enjoy the channel!

Oh my god, remembering the first time I played this piece, the Arada. Then I started to analysed it, it held so many nice secrets, like them harmonics along with chords, does clearely reminds of churcbells on the Spanish country side. Lovely piece and thanks for bringing me back when I was only 20 years old, now I,m 75.👍

[@davidjaggs]

Nice story!

[@fhulkster]

thats was a super helpful lesson David thanks for sharing it, i have just started working my way through the suite casellana and coming across this video was a great help

[@davidjaggs]

Good to hear that. 👍

[@josemfuentes9413]

Good timing. As it should be.

[@mattie5161]

A beautiful piece from Torroba & just about within my reach (i think?) I'll keep this in the like bank for future ref i y'dont mind. The performance sounds incredible on the Hauser 😊👍

[@davidjaggs]

Hope it's useful for you!

[@robchirico4794]

These in-depth videos are consistently engaging and helpful. Thank you, David! How about adding the last movement (Danza) from the same suite? My apologies if this has already been suggested.

[@davidjaggs]

I may well do that as I'm playing the whole suite at the moment.👍

[@fredericmarchand2301]

Thanks David for your priceless lesson and advice. I have Watched 4 or 5 times to catch your finesse and subtle way of playing. Thanks for the gift. How lucky you are to play this Hauser!

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks for watching 👍🙏

[@macis4952]

Gorgeous clarity of the melody. Thank you.

[@davidjaggs]

👍👍

[@kiekiek]

That guitar sounds astonishing. Great playing as well.

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks 😊👍

[@soundknight]

I do like your interpretation here David. The melody really sings, you put a little vibrato at the end of some notes which is really lovely. I like the pulse delayed on the second artificial harmonic of each bar. Just lovely.

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks 👍👍

[@taylfut1]

Great video. Really enjoyed the performance and breakdown. Anything Villa-Lobos would be good for me (etudes, preludes, choros).

[@davidjaggs]

Ok, Villa Lobos seems top of the requests at the moment!

[@tony89718]

@@davidjaggsVilla-Lobos preludes and études. You can do it David!

[@davidjaggs]

👍

[@userAA]

Since I've asked for very few in the last comment, I'd like to have one more request and that's Spanish dance 5 by Granados. Meanwhile, it seems Bream recorded the Berkeley's Sonatina for guitar on a Hauser too, I'm not sure tho.

[@davidjaggs]

Ok!

[@userAA]

@@davidjaggs Thank you very much!

[@AlanMcCarthyguitar]

That was really nice , actually didn’t know the piece , the lesson very interesting, I’m curious how long it took you to first seeing the score to the performance?? Few days ? Anyway love and like all your videos even if don’t always comment

[@davidjaggs]

I think it was about six days.. that's quite speedy for me, but I really enjoyed it. I also learned the other 2 movements but not as thoroughly

[@userAA]

Nice! I'd like you to try Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Lobos' prélude 2 & 3, Berkeley's Sonatina for guitar, Asturias. I've requested on behalf of those who are not gonna comment too 😉

[@davidjaggs]

I'll do those this evening!! Certainly the Villa Lobos will come soon. 👍

[@userAA]

@@davidjaggs Awesome 😎 👍🏻 !

[@mattie5161]

​@@davidjaggsd'ya think you could squeeze the humming bird by Sagreras in tonight as well? 😉
