The Segovia Master Class in Spain - Classical Guitar Masterclass - Andres Segovia

I do not own this video. I just want to share this video to the classical guitar lovers all around the world!
Andrés Torres Segovia, 1st Marquis of Salobreña (pronounced: [anˈdɾes ˈtores seˈɣoβja]) (February 21, 1893 -- June 2, 1987), known as Andrés Segovia, was a virtuoso Spanish classical guitarist from Linares, Jaén, Andalucia, Spain. He is widely considered to be one of the best known and most influential classical guitar personalities of the 20th century, having a considerable influence on later guitarists, particularly because of important guitar works that were dedicated to him by composers such as Federico Moreno Torroba.
Segovia is credited for his modern-romantic repertoire, mainly through works dedicated to him by modern composers, but he also created his own transcriptions of classical works that were originally for other instruments. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide palette of tone, and his distinctive (often instantly recognizable) musical personality in tone, phrasing and style.

Here is one of many masterclasses by maestro Segovia.

This is the miracle of the Internet. How fortunate we are to have a chance to watch Segovia teaching the guitar!!!

[@alvinmephyrnairyntathiang]

True 100%

[@sidneymays]

Absolutely!

[@MAXILOGUITARRO]

I Agree!

[@SonicPhonic]

That was the most enjoyable Chaconne I've ever experienced.

[@Veni_Vide]

Indeed

[@atlogiq]

In 1960 I was lucky to assist at one of hie recital in the salle de la paix in Neuchatel (Switzerland), he came on with his guitare, sat on the chair and started to play the Spanish suite from Albeniz, 2 hours of dream, then got up and left for ever.

[@Hektor88]

There are those that say "A performance is at its most musical when it's played with the greatest degree of historical accuracy." And there are those that say, "A performance is at its most musical when it's played with the greatest degree of musical sensibility." "Musical sensibility" doesn't always correlate with historical accuracy. Segovia may play anachronistically, but no one can deny that he plays beautifully.

[@TheNinnyfee]

Beautiful playing always comes from the inside, labels like "anachronism" come from the outside. You have to decide which voice to listen to.

[@kanker5256]

literally no one says those things, or those who do are never heard or taken into account. complete irrelevancy. the only thing that matters is to play well (have good technique) and play the piece as it is supposed to be played. 2 in 1 solves everything

[@Lerbun2008]

The real great thing of this masterclass is the precision, the perfectionism and the attention to the details, he was really a great, no 1

[@gammondog]

I remember seeing this on tv. My father loved the guitar and was a big fan of Segovia.He would watch it on our black and white set.Thanks for putting this series up. It brings back some good memories.

[@aaronsilva4187]

Hi! :) Each piece was written to be played a certain way. The Maestro asked his students to play a chosen piece, then helped them by pointing out where to make adjustments-that's what a music teacher does. The focus of the class wasn't on writing theory or teaching scales/chords. M. Segovia was there to guide them throughout their performances by the knowledge he had of each piece; to improve their musicality & understanding of the music they were playing, & to hone the skills they already had.

[@johnmanning6572]

Thank you for posting. Mr. Segovia makes me want to never touch a guitar again. And at the same time, he makes me want to never put it down. I have to wonder, if another one like him will ever be again. What a Master! I am beyond humbled.

[@JohnPeterPressonProtopsaltis]

She's nervous, but I can tell she is soaking it in. I have had a few opportunities to study with masters in my own art -such a blessing.

[@tvu86]

To have learned from Maestro Segovia would have been a great honor. I was born in the wrong era. No one today will come remotely close to his influence on classical guitar.

[@kanker5256]

de lucia

[@jaredconnor]

[@newinspiration2108]

hi there guys just a quick shoutout to all of you Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm in learning about the master and his music/teaching without you the video could not have reached this far all the best!!!

Wow this is the best thing I found on KZbin this year.

[@mwmcbroom]

The last time I saw one of Segovia's master classes was on a PBS station in the early 70s. I had just begun playing classical guitar back then and was understandably enthralled. The longer I played, however, the more I took his approach to the guitar with increased disfavor - this despite his being one of the greatest guitarists of the 20th century. I think it began when I purchased a Jose Ramirez guitar, the same model he played, and was dismayed at how difficult the guitar was to play. Part of it was the high action, which was easy enough to correct, but it was mostly the guitar's scale, aka string length. My guitar's string length was a whopping 667mm, where the standard was widely accepted as 650mm. The extra 17mm made reaches and stretches very difficult, but I persevered, although I can't say I was ever comfortable playing a guitar with that scale. Segovia was a big guy, so the extra reach was probably never an issue for him. From what I understand, Segovia was adamant about the long scale because he felt it increased a guitar's projection, especially in large auditoriums, where incidentally he never allowed his guitar to be miced, claiming it was totally unnecessary. Well, I saw Segovia in concert once during his later years, in n a large hall with excellent acoustics, and let me just say, the concert would have been more enjoyable if his guitar had been miced. In the years since buying that Ramirez I have played (and owned) many guitars with a 650mm scale that were equal in projection to a long scale Ramirez, so so much for that argument. But such was Segovia's influence over the house of Ramirez that they didn't begin to produce 650mm scale guitars (again) until after his passing. These days new long scale guitars are uncommon. But such was Segovia's influence over the guitar community that he had the major builders convinced that the long scale was the way to go, and to hell with people who had normal sized hands or smaller. This is by no means my only issue with Segovia, but is probably my biggest. Other topics, such as many of his highly idiosyncratic fingerings, for example, should be the topic for another discussion.

[@tom721100]

Segovia was the undisputed master of classical guitar. Most of the material here is from the 15th to the 18th century.. It will not be familiar to most people. But it the music that will last forever, while contemporary guitar music is ephemeral, and will be forgotten in 100 years. These videos are of immeasureable value in the handing down of the knowledge of the original music and the way it was meant to be played. Segovia is a disciplinarian because he wants nothing lost in the transfer of this knowledge from generation to generation. We have already lost so much of value already.

[@BeauJames59]

Thank you so much for your insightful comments. Would you say Segovia is like the Soup Nazi, someone who suffers for their art?

[@tom721100]

I was thinking that his fingertips are surely suffering. It's possible that Segovia's instructor fits the description.

[@newinspiration2108]

very nice and thorough comment, my friend :)

[@tmjcbs]

I have to disagree here: Segovia's way of playing is a way of playing, but certainly not the way 'it was meant to be played'. It worked very well for him, but it could hardly be called 'historically informed'.

[@Moodymongul]

imo - Segovia was (in part due to his success - which included some perhaps exaggerated claims *like who taught him*) a self elected conduit of earlier Classical guitar playing (he was generally considered the finest player of his generation). However, one person can only transfer so much and it will always be tainted by personality and teaching skill (an entirely different skill from playing) and whatever their own specific skill sets within the guitar playing discipline are. Segovia often fixated on the minutiae and really wanted players to be a tape recorder of him, I think. I feel you could see this with John Williams while he understudied Segovia (Segovia liked how accurately William's played Segovia's own arrangements). Still, i wasn't in the room so to speak. Just a hypothesis :)

[@michaelmorales112]

Such a joy to watch this master share his craft for the betterment of the instrument.

[@amsterjam66]

Segovia - a TRUE blessing to our universe-

[@Alhambra22]

Thank you for posting this video for all eager guitarists out there that want to grow in the appreciation of the classical guitar and culture. Although Segovia's technique and theories have been severely challenged by the newer generations of guitarists. I pity them all.

[@TheNinnyfee]

Every teacher is a product of their times, all generations will be challenged in the end.

[@paroblynn]

I am a gigging rock guitarist. I am a hobbyist jazz wanna-be. Whenever I feel like I'm accomplished, I come to these videos of true experts who can within a few notes say yes or no. Such excellent technique. Hell, the students perform better than 90% (my made up number) of guitarists out there touring.

[@steveb9325]

Yea, I'm a 61 year old musician who started taking Classical guitar lessons last year at 60. I love it! Its HARD! Its totally different from what I was use to and has improved me as a musician/guitarist or guitar player anyway. I so wish I'd started Classical guitar at 10 or 12. I so love it. Its made mb e a better writer too. Peace😜

[@TheNinnyfee]

He taught over decades, more students than most teachers will ever have. Amazon patience and teaching skills.

[@sundown798]

Segovia always thought you can't just play the notes, you need too feel love always to your notes))

[@luigicraus584]

Thank you! This is an incredible video. The inimitable greatness of Segovia is in the fact that all the students we see in the film have all become great guitarists and masters! Honor to Segovia.

[@TheNinnyfee]

I like how at the end they swap guitars and you can see great playing never depends on the instrument but on the player. And how Segovia really takes his time to figure an issue out.

[@FOE20ABN]

theres just not many that work to this level of musician ship anymore..a 2hr lesson!....incredible....brava!

What a BRUTAL sound Segovia!

[@jemsar2]

Such a priceless treasure on video! Thank you for sharing this DVD with us! What a maestro!

[@johnnyp6202]

Segovia wasn't necessarily the greatest teacher because he thought you should mostly play things exactly like him, but watching this you just see the extreme musicality Segovia had and why he is so legendary. I might him super briefly in the 80s and after shaking his hand he said "a classical guitarist must always pay much attention to perfect hands and nails". I was just an intermediate self taught guitarist (and still am) but he could tell I played from my nails and even in a 15 second interaction he sort of gave a lesson.

[@stompthedragon4010]

I saw him in concert in 1979. I assure you it was magical.

[@XXmonkiXX]

This is one of the best gifts life could ever give to us.

[@ChavezRey]

Americans like me are not used to hearing instruction without some soothing words first. Europeans, like the great gypsy guitarists I have taken workshops with are not being mean, they are assuming the student not only can take it, but is there to hear what they are doing wrong so they can improve.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

There is a huge difference in tonal quality, rhythm, and phrasing . . . In how one speaks and what they are conveying. The speaking voice can convey so much and it's not hard to tell the difference between someone who is irritated or worse, and someone who is simply trying to help. Segovia is giving constructive criticism, nothing more and it is very apparent in the inflections of his voice, let alone his body language. There are just a lot of people who think they are cleaver at hiding these feelings, and yet even a small child can easily tell the difference. You say "Americans", but is that not your own heritage? And how can one ever understand the heritage of another without having lived it? Perhaps with a younger country, there are more trying to find their own way still, but people are basically the same all over the world. I have had teachers who truly want to help, and from there patience is born. I have also had teachers who seem to be more interested in proving _themselves_ and this is where things start to go horribly wrong. I find it interesting too that most of what Segovia is trying to teach is how to _play from the heart_ and that speaks also to his clarity of purpose. There is nothing to disguise for him, his intentions are true. That is what for me makes him not just an extremely good, but a truly great player.

[@TheNinnyfee]

It's not mean when you focus on the technique in your criticism. The teacher assumes you came because you want to learn.

This is an incredible video recording. Not only for guitar music lovers and those who treasure their Segovia CD collection, but also to educators and overall classical music fans. If you don't have time to listen to the whole video, which I found to be a great inspiration, then at least fastfoward to episode surrounding ~1h03m, "...not repeat twice...", and ~1h40m - exchange of guitars with the professor. Thanks again!

[@websyndicate1]

I was lucky enough to attend a Segovia appearance near Chicago back around 1979. A small auditorium format. His expression through the instrument was so good it almost brought tears. I had studied classical guitar with a guy named Robert Guthrie, years earlier, who had participated in one of Segovia's Masters Classes. Now I understand what he went through.

9; Composed by Manuel Maria Ponce at the request of Segovia to be attributed to (the style of) J.S. Bach as a joke that Segovia & Ponce played on composer Fritz Kreisler. After reconsidering, Segovia & Ponce later agreed to attribute the work to Sylvius Leopold Weiss; it is entitled: Suite in A Minor, Gigue. (the 5th & final mvt. of the suite). 10; John Dowland, My Lady Hunsdon's Puffe, Allemande (arr. Karl Scheit) 11; Isaac Albeniz, Zambra Granadina, Op.97 No.4. THANKS MR. HUYNH! MUCH ENJOYED

All, except Zaczeck and Minella.

[@sarahhamelinck1598]

This is what master class is about. They have already mastered chord progression, phrasing, large scale melodic relationships, temp, expression. These students put in over 8 hours of practice a day so coming to a class not one on one instruction means cutting right to the errors and weeding them out, tweaking their already progressive techniques and applying a fresh pair of ears and experienced player to help perfect the technique they have labored over for over 100+ hours.

[@guitawrizt]

Sooo- You no do the home assignment- young glasshoppa ?

[@VladTheImpaler454]

Well said, practising slowly has been the key factor in developing my playing. Without doing so my tremolo would surely have developed with many inconsistencies in tone and volume

[@papabrownbear185]

Thanks for sharing

[@marcelouz1]

Segovia, MASTER OF MASTERS, to think that this work was written for solo violin "Sonatas Partitas for solo violin".Segovia was the first to transcribe many of the BACH'S works for guitar . In particular this "Chacona" sounds better in this instrument that in violin for me, but of course that can be subjective .

Todo el mundo criticando la forma de enseñar de Segovia, que si es un autoritario, que si enseña según sus propios principios musicales. Y yo me pregunto, ¿como quién debería enseñar entonces? Acaso debe cambiar sus sensibilidad musical a la hora de enseñar? no, el enseña según le parece y sienta él. Los alumnos han ido a su clase, pues que se atengan a ello.

[@Erick-nc8mc]

razón a la mitad para mí, sí, fue y será uno de los más grandes, y está bien que enseñe de acuerdo a su musicalidad....pero pedagogía ninguna, es cierto que los alumnos que asisten van a eso, pero hombre, perfectamente podría haber sido un poco menos gruñón y más paciente, y le hubiera otorgado un bien más a los alumnos, no creo que los haya hecho sentir cómodos mientras les regaña

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

No oigo ni veo nada de eso. Está claro que solo está interesado en ayudar a que sus alumnos mejoren.

[@indyracingnut]

I cannot imagine the pressure of having to perform in front of the master Segovia himself, not to mention all your fellow students sitting behind you....That cannot have been easy for ANY of them.

I remember one guy played a song called Segovia. Don't know if that made it onto this pot. I just watched the Chaconne. I'll check out the rest tomorrow.

Segovia really liked letting people know when the chaconne was being played as I've noticed my instructor Fred Benedetti had to play this piece for him at the USC master class and when he went up Segovia can be heard saying "The chaconne.......hahah" almost as if he knew this would be a very long journey.

[@dantache48]

I am not an accomplished classical guitarist but I LOVE the instrument. I took lessons for 3 years but my profession got in the way of mastering the instrument however, I still love the instrument and this music. I am curious about who these students/performers were and why they were attending this Master Class? What is the purpose of a Master Class? Who invited each performer and what were the requirements for being invited? This seemed like such a stress-out environment; is such an environment conducive to learning? Is it intended to provide an atmosphere for the aspiring professional performer which will closely parallel that of a professional performance? Did a successful performance mean something for the future of the performer? Would there have been a follow-up to this class? I'm just wondering.

[@AnUnhappyBusiness]

Although masterclasses are stressful, they are a standard part of most classical performance music educations. I recall from my own that they were run much in the same way and were a weekly part of my instruction. The purpose is to get comfortable with yourself in front of a knowledgeable audience while also learning from each others' performances and critiques. It is my assumption that they are typically run this way, whether it is with the studio professor at the university or a visiting professional artist. For other great examples, Jascha Heifetz, the legendary violinist, had several of his masterclasses with his students at the university recorded. According to the autobiography of one of his students, the way the masterclasses were run that were recorded was the same as any that were not.

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this! I think Classical Guitar has lost so much over the years. It's now FULL of players who go 3 million miles an hour, yet have next to no variation of tone or individuality. It's also become very "chic" to disrespect the great players of the past (Such as Segovia) as being "worthless" or "bad". Give me Segovia's performances (or those of Julian Bream) over almost any modern performer. But again, that's just a personal preference, and one that I know many don't share.

[@gscgold]

yeah greatness is based on speed anymore and the majority have no idea otherwise.

[@hminkema]

Maybe the first student is just dead nervous, but while producing the notes she forgets to breathe life into them. Her sound is harsh, and it is as if the notes come from some machine. A great technique, but I prefer a more musical and maybe less technically gifted performer any day. At 14:34, Segovia is spot-on when he advises her to 'practice slow' and articulate. A performing artist should first and foremost be concerned with expression, with discovering and creating music. Speed comes last.
