The issue with the guitar is the volume is too low, a guitar can't compete in loudness with a violin, let alone the brass... The amplifier makes the guitar sound unnatural, it feels lie being inside the guitar it's weird. That said i would love to have a guitar section.
@@davidcia this is true, if only historically there were architectural adaptations to compensate and enhance the acoustics for guitars. Theatres were and are of course built with that in mind, but for guitars in orchestras would be really cool if possible; still wouldn't be feasible as even attempting that would ruin the acoustics for all other instruments in the ensemble of the orchestra. Welp, these are my ramblings for the day
Hahah this arrangement is so much fun! Fantastic work from the Quartet! (And it is easy to forget to appreciate what a well-crafted work this is by Liszt - its ubiquity can make us take a lot of the great melodic gestures, the call-backs, the playful rhythms for granted - in fact this music was pretty "out there" for the 1850s.)
I am in awe! Bellisimo. I can't get enough of these guys now. A business associate is married to one of these fine gentlemen and I feel like I've been missing out on a gem in my own town. Bravo LAGQ. Andele!
In my opinion, the fact that classical music doesn't usually have words is what makes it better than popular music.. it's left up to the listener to interpret what the piece is about!
As one who grew up playing classical (and other styles of) piano, I know quite a bit about music, and I too am appalled by some of these comments. These gentlemen are truly master musicians, and I would buy an album of their music in a heartbeat. I live in the D.C. area but am from SoCal, and I would definitely take the opportunity to see them when I am next in LA.
hhhhh this is somehow weard for me, it is the first time for me to get the chance to talk to someone starting his day when I getting ready for bed but I really like it
it seems to be an extension to the guitar i think its an extra bass string for the lower parts of the this transcription thats why no one else plays except him at about 2:35 into the video
@musicman8942 Its all about posture for the classical guitar, with a strap you wouldnt have the same capabilities, tone, or physical ability to sustain playing on the classical guitar. The brace is just a replacement for the footstool, the footstool is just to hold the guitar higher for the left hand. Hope this helped :D
@musicman8942 idk if you've ever noticed or not, but a lot of classical guitarist use these "braces" as opposed to footrests. in fact, i went to see these guys a couple nights ago and two of the four of them were using them, scott tennant wasnt using anything. and he still tore it up.
@musicman8942 That heavy set guy goes by the name of Scott Tennant, he heads the guitar program up at USC, he will get shit done with or without a mechanical stand, regardless of his size.
