Great performance and voiceleading, bravo Jan! The frigate theme fits perfect, it sounds abit melancholic like the sailor does not want to go on another long trip on the sea because he wants to share more time with his beloved family.
Thank you very much for your praise that I do not deserve. Unfortunately I haven’t got tabs but here you are the score: www.rajce.idnes.cz/refraktorian/album/tempo-di-minuetto/1641598454 I hope you will like it.
Wow, never though that you could translate a 4 voice piece to the guitar. I me an it has 6 Strings and we have 5 fingers per hand but still...Did you have to make many compromises, like shifting octaves etc? And is this standard tuning?
Yes, at several places I had to shift the whole an octave lower, once I was forced to do that within one voice. But the tuning is standard, I hate changing the tuning especially when using this guitar with its really rudimentary tuning mechanism. I never use different tuning to be honest. I somehow was able to find a way almost everywhere and thus avoided some unsatisfying compromises. I was surprised every time, as my original intention was not to play it or even to accomplish the full arrangement but rather to learn something about counterpoint and music in general. Thank you for your kind words.
@@unwrought9757 I will send you a arrangement via email i just finished today. I heared this Bach piece Prelude No. 9 BWV 854 in E Major on piano and i felt in love with it before the first bar ended. I tried to arrange from the piano sheet so it suits the guitar hopefully. Would be nice to hear your opinion from you on this since i cant play it fluently yet and i want to improve more on arranging and writing. Gotta follow the inspiration that started from your sheetmusic right :) Theres still 2 issues Bar 14 the high A harmony and Ab might be placed somewhere else and my contrapunct from 15-16 isnt finished yet, i can only hear it on the low octaves in my head right now.
It would be my pleasure, sir. Here you are the score of almost all my minuets I posted here: www.rajce.idnes.cz/refraktorian/album/tempo-di-minuetto thank you for your kind interest.
I love the art of fugue . I like your translation but you should adjust it more easier partly because perfection of performance is important. I think It doesn’t have to be faithful to the original unless you lose the intrinsic. Did you get it ? I don’t usually use english.
@@user-ub4pg2wm9g ありがとうございます。私は Google 翻訳を使って英語を日本語に翻訳しています。あなたに理解してもらえるといいのですが。おっしゃる通りですが、このような厳しい対位法に変更を加えるのは非常に難しく、音符を省略したり、変更したり、その他の介入をすることはほとんど不可能です。したがって、実際には簡略化することはできません。私の意図は、この曲を演奏することではなく、音楽について何かを学ぶことでした。私はクラシック ギタリストではありませんし、このような難しい曲を完璧に演奏するには、数え切れないほどの練習時間が必要ですが、私にはそれができません。
Sorry to disappoint you, but I do not write tabs, but here is the score if you want: www.rajce.idnes.cz/refraktorian/album/tempo-di-minuetto/1639354370
Magnífico, me encantan sus piezas, esta la siento barroca pero al mismo tiempo muy dada a un vals peruano al mismo tiempo, una lástima que no sepa hacer tablaturas mas convencionales pero me conformo porque son de libre acceso, gracias por eso.
De nada, señor. Yo hago eso por la gente que aman la misma música que yo. Yo no soy un mercador bueno… me alegra que a la gente le gusta mi música, esto está mi precio buenísimo.
" I haven’t managed to play it properly" -- haha, you are the composer so you are allowed to re-interpret what the composer meant to compose to match the exigencies of interpretation.
I give the poster two thumbs up 😊, first for the honest recording of the sound of this modest old instrument and secondly for his excellent arrangement and rendition. Congratulations!
is this whats called a parlor guitar? it's tone works well for this. would like to know more about this instrument. interesting cascading cut to fingerboard never seen that before.
Not really. As for the size and overall proportions it is similar to what is called a parlor guitar, and actually a parlor body has been derived from this so called “viennese” or “romantic” guitar - the type that prevailed from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. This one is an anonymous guitar of probably Czech or German origin made approximately in 1830s. Unfortunately I do know much about it. The label inside is not original but was placed by a Czech luthier who did the repair dated 18 May 1877. It was found by a friend of mine who is also a luthier; the guitar was waiting for a stove to be burned, being piled together with other junk wood in some attic. Luckily it survived almost complete, only a few tuning pegs were lost, the rest of the instrument is completely original. Some frets are quite worn, but I do not want to replace them nevertheless.
Oh, that’s a great idea indeed! I will think of it for sure.nevertheless that’s also why I try to compose a minuet in every reasonable key, so that one could play them in different combinations according to the key or mood.
@@unwrought9757 Indeed you already have alot of great minuets that work together as a pair. Its really some lovely and challenging contrapunctal pieces you compose there.
@@maHaTma86 some of them come from the same musical idea, for example the one in G major and the first one in E minor are basically derived from the same theme that is inverted in the latter. Also the one in D major and B minor were based on the same theme. They were meant to be played as a pair.
@@maHaTma86 by the way, have you listened to the last one that I posted a fortnight ago, the one in E flat major? I was really interested in your opinion, and thus a bit disappointed not to find your comment.
@@unwrought9757 ive listened to it with a thumbs up but i forgot to comment true. Maybe its because Eb major to me at least is a key that never touched me like others do, even with your great voiceleading in the piece. Cant wait for the day when i can finish the musical ideas that come through here and there if i just jam along. Somehow im playing and practicing alot of multivoiced pieces from Weiss and Bach right now but i cant bring it down on paper for my own music yet.
Thank you very much. I realised that I can play almost none of my earlier minuets, as I forget them as soon as I write them down and record them. Somehow it’s always Saturday I do that and then I wait for a new idea.
