I've always loved this piece of Coste's since it first came out in Chanterelle Publications, about 30 years back, and I love your performance of it. Many wonderful things here, not the least of which is you willingness to slow down and take the expressive and tonal details of many phrases fully on, instead of always hurrying through them to the next, as, regrettably, so many do.
I don't know why this is called "sur un motif de Rossini". I think the theme is undoubtedly by Bellini - famous Aria out of "Il Pirata" which begins "Tu vedrai la sventurata"
guitaropro motif like "introduction and variation of motif of "la traviatta" by Tárrega. Motif is a lil stract of a piece. Like based in...Napoleón Coste based this piece in a lil stract of an aria by Rossini.
Well shit....that's almost as bad as me playing the "reader's digest" version of "Carulli's" Rondo, for 20 yrs. out of the Noad book, then buying "Carcassi in Tabulature", and seeing it in there. I called Mel Bay to tell them they screwed up....cuz my teacher spoke so highly of Noad and his books... then my damn head was spinning for about a yr.!!! (when i found out that Mel Bay was right and Noad was wrong) My teachers really don't want me talking about this... This shit is just ridiculous, they need to go thru and fix all these fuck ups! for real! I was just sight reading this thing last week thinking it was Rossini.... damn...
