My printing of the Caprici is by Kalmus, and I purchased it at the Juliard's book store @ Lincoln Center. It is printed on heavy duty parchment and high quality paper, and I only paid $6.50 for it!

He might not. However, Uli CAN, and often does, rip it up!

I've heard MANY interpretation of the 4 Seasons, and most of them are dumbed down.

I have played it on the classical guitar - its like grade 2 or 3 exam or something - how do you do the contrapunctal stuff on the electric - fingers or pick?

I studied classical guitar for a few years, and my technique was pretty good, tho now long rusty.

I pick everything.

Grade 2 or 3 u gotta be joking? that must be one seriousley dumbed down version, I mean its a violin concerto no easy feat!

I would love to see the sheet music for classical guitar, see if it sounds any good.

I have the classical guitar arrangement for the exam and its the melody line with a relatively easy contrapunctal harmony:

Often classical schools do this - Paganni's guitar sonatas (which contain all hands on the fretboard in a game of finger twister) are often higher up the grade listing than his violin pieces transposed for guitar - purely because the transposition is melody.

I not playing the 'main' melody line, which any guitarist can play in a matter of minutes. I'm learning the whole concerto, note for note. When transcribed for guitar, I would put it in the 'very difficult' column.

^ wow, yeah, that'd be hard. :(

For the record I figured you weren't playing the grade 2 piss easy piece!

dave_mc · « **Reply #25 on:** October 19, 2006, 10:57:39 PM »

Once i tabbed out Fantasie-Impromptu by Chopin. I gave up learning it though. I can play it on piano, but i'll set some smaller goals for now, coz i'm just starting on guitar :(:(:(

Tony MacAlpine started on piano and he's awesome :D

Muzzzz · « **Reply #28 on:** November 30, 2006, 07:26:33 AM »

Yay! :lol: Hope!

I'm squeezing shiteloads of practice in now, coz i'm 15 and it aint long before i'll have too much schoolwork to practice so much :( How depressing.
