I never fact-checked this but one of my professors in college said that it was due to the guitar gaining popularity in the 19th century in serious, art music that prompted the piano consortium to turn it into an accompaniment instrument of folk singers and troubadours. They wanted serious performers and composers to focus on piano, not guitar.

The world's truly greatest guitarist. My teacher attended his master classes years ago. Andre could get the full sound of the guitar and create all emotional possibilities. His sound, control and feeling were unmatched. I always wanted to meet him and speak with him. Few guitarists were talented enough to attend his classes. Julian Bream was master of the Lute. Segovia was master of classical guitar. He was truly gifted and dedicated beyond imagination. God Bless him and thank you for showing us what the guitar can be and do. You did so much for so many and the world of guitar. You were brilliant.

It is a strange accent, though. I am from Spain myself and he sounds quite different - if you compare his accent to the common Spaniard's. It even sounds a little Italian?

I saw Segovia in 1972 or 1973 in Symphony Hall in Boston. We got $2 tickets in the balcony looking down on the stage. He sat on a chair with his guitar and I thought, we will never hear him. I was wrong. He filled the hall with music. Wow.

[@1philpot]

Andre tells truth,”The guitar is the instrument for the amorous dialogue with the human we love.
If the human betrays us then we take the cello in order to open our heart to our friend.
And if the friend is implicated in these infidelity of our love then we choose the organ to communicate our sorry with God. “

This film is a gift to the world. It's so refreshing to see and hear the immortal maestro give his unabashed view of his influence on the guitar, hear of his love for Andalusía and Granada, and watch him play some classics. The interviewer asked such great questions, especially when he had the maestro expand on his disapproval of the contemporaneous state of flamenco. Thanks Daniel Magli for uploading.

I met the Guitar in College in 1958. I heard Rodrigo’s Concerto de Aranjuez at that time and then Segovia. On my return from military life in 1967, I found guitar teacher who
had studied with Andres Segovia. Because of this I learned about Bach. Your beautiful Documentary about Segovia brought my musical life story into perspective. How fortunate I was to “meet the guitar, Segovia, and Bach” and to have this musical Foundation for the next 60+ years of my life! THANK YOU!! Bill Klein

[@dlagrua]

Segovia paved the way for the classical guitarists of today. A true genius and innovator. As he got older his timing suffered a little bit but you can't deny his many achievements. He played very difficult classical pieces that few guitar players can duplicate. .

Thank you Daniele Magli for this wonderful film which I hadn't seen before. Maestro Segovia has been a great hero for me for many years, since I first listened to his records back in the 1960's. You only have to listen to his playing to feel that this was a man witth a truly poetic sensibility (what a joy to hear him reading from Platero & I), and he was clearly a man of great charm and good humour. Of course, his views and attitude to life - even his style of playing the guitar - may not resonate well with many in today's world, he was not of today's world, he was born before the first World War, indeed before the turn of the 20th century. For me, and for many people, he remains a charming man and a very great musician.
