Etude VI
    notes

  1. from Brian Huether at guitar-dreams
    1. Etudes Simples VI is the sort of piece that might very well give you some new ideas of use for your own songwriting endeavors. If not, it will certainly reinforce your right hand technique.
    2. This guitar study by the contemporary Cuban composer Leo Brouwer features a repeating right hand pick pattern which is played over a series of chords. The chords are essentially variations of A chords. This cycling of chords and the use of open strings makes for a surreal and ominous effect. Though meant to be a classical guitar study, we can certainly adapt it for acoustic or electric guitar. It's not like we haven't done that before!
    3. These next 10 measures are played as straight 16th notes in 3/4 time as was the case with the first 12 measures. However, in these measures the low note switches to the low E string which demands greatuer coordination skills with the picking hand.

Sur les interprètes des Estudios Sencillos (tous styles confondus)

  • Alex Altamirano "Homenaje" to the great Leo Brouwer
  • Robert Anthony

  • Bartolomeo Barenghi Trying to find life and energy in everything and everyone - Classique / Jazz - Barcelona

  • Marco Cappelli: Fantasia per ensemble liberamente ispirata a Estudios Sencillos di Leo Brouwer
    La trasformazione di 11 degli "Estudios Sencillos" di Leo Brouwer nella "Fantasia per Ensemble" è il risultato di un anno di lavoro svolto in classe di chitarra al Conservatorio "V. Bellini" di Palermo. L'obbiettivo che intendiamo raggiungere è il recupero di un rapporto con l'improvvisazione all' interno di un percorso di studi di chitarra classica. L'improvvisazione è educazione all' ascolto, composizione estemporanea, analisi, conoscenza dello strumento, relazione cosciente con il proprio back-ground musicale e tanto altro ancora. Ma sopratutto significa trovarsi di fronte alla necessità di riempire uno spazio vuoto con una "invenzione", ampliando e completando in tal modo la propria abilità di interpreti. Confidiamo di non fare torto all' autore degli "Estudios" se nell' orchestrare le sue composizioni per chitarra sola sono state aperte larghe sezioni di improvvisazione: speriamo anzi di cogliere un suggerimento nascosto in quel riferimento costante alla vitalità della musica popolare contenuto nella sua opera.
