This is Classical Guitar

Marcello Fantoni performs Overture in A Major No.1, Op.6 and Grande Sonata in C Major. Op. 114 by Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841) on a period François René Lacôte, 1820 guitar. This comes via Edoardo Lambertenghi’s YouTube channel. I love these performances by Fantoni of Classical and Romantic works played on a period guitar. His performances are filled with a wonderful musicality and playful energy that mixes so well with the plucky sound of the nineteenth century guitar.

This comes from my sheet music collection Grade 1 Repertoire Supplement for Classical Guitar. Contains 10 works at the grade 1 level and is designed as extra repertoire for students who have completed my Volume 1 and 2 method books and specifically my Repertoire Lessons Grade 1. Here is the YouTube link if you want to watch it there.

Lección No.77 by Julio Sagreras (1879–1942), from Primeras lecciones de guitarra offers a good opportunity to work on melodic shaping along with descending slurs (pull-offs). In particular the short length and manageable elements of this work make is possible to use as a focused technique study on playing musical descending slurs without taking up much time. Due to the minimal requirements here, aim for a very high quality performance and sound.
