New Masterclass: "Gavotte BWV 995", J.S. Bach

Renato Transcribes and teaches one of Bach's greatest Gavottes from Lute Suite BWV 995. Bach reaches a point of immense beauty halfway through the second part and I consider this passage to be one of the great moments in music history.  Mastering the use of Left hand presentations, Levers and pivots will make Gavotte BWV 995 a much more fluent work. I examine these Carlevarian concepts in depth in the Technique section of mangore.com. Abel Carlevaro's vision of the technique encompassed the playing apparatus as a whole and the fingers were seen as the final part of a much larger and more complete and efficient set. Carlevaro was the first Maestro who took the time to write a treaty on Classical Guitar technique and he has set the basis for every guitarist to continue upon his work. Having been a disciple of the Uruguayan master, I share these revolutionary concepts with all my students.  Visit the Masterclass
