Hello Beatrix, thank you for playing my piece! Did I hear you say that it's a French song? Well, it isn't. but it has been played by a few famous French guitarists among others since I wrote it over 30 years ago... All my best wishes, Maria
Hello Maria, then I’m completely lost 😃 I thought it was inspired by a French song. I’m so sorry for misrepresenting your work, I’m a huge fan of your compositions so it was an honest mistake ☹️ I’ll make a pinned comment about the correction.
@@beatrixguitar Please don't worry, Beatrix, I just thought I'd mention it! But thank you, if you have the chance to correct it that would be nice! I'm a great fan of your wonderful guitar playing and your performances of the classical guitar repertoire!
Pieces composed by Maria Linnemann is such a huge pleasure for us. So many students of mine during their studies in musical school have played Marias pieces. Dear Maria Linnemann, thank You so much for your compositions, we are the great fans of your music here in Ukraine. 💛💙
Thank you so much for these pieces. I’m 74 and my hands can’t do what they use to I’ll be playing Vals(I’m a newbie with classical) on my 57 year old classical that I bought in high school. Back then I didn’t know the difference between a classical and a folk guitar. I’m sure glad I kept it. It sounds heavenly with the aged wood.
At 73 I am also dusting off the classical guitar. I haven't played in decades and I am pretty much starting from scratch. But after a couple of months of playing a little every day, it is getting easier. Have fun.
Beatrix, here in Australia I sit weeping at my desk as I listen to you play these beautiful pieces so exquisitely. I am 56 years old and received my first guitar when I was 13. I fell in love with it back then as I taught myself from a beginner level classical guitar book. I have not played for decades and thought I may have lost my musical spirit, but I recently bought a beautiful new guitar and you have inspired me to begin again. Thank you. ❤🎶
just found you on you tube. You remind me why I love the guitar. I am 65 years old. I have been playing since I was thirteen. The road to learning new stuff never stops. It 1am in the morning. I will come back soon.
Dear Beatrix, it was an extraordinary pleasure to listen to three of my compositions in your interpretation. You captured their style and character brilliantly 🙂 Thank you and send my warm greetings from Poland. Tatiana
Hello Tatiana, thank you for your kind words, but even more for enriching our community with your beautiful works! Your etudes give my students a great support in overcoming technical challenges and give them solid foundations, but somehow you wrote them to be so enjoyable to play and listen to, I forget they are etudes. :D Thank you!!
Is there a way to purchase your books in PDF format? I can always scan them from the books but I like to have them on ForScore on my Ipad as that's how I organize my practice sessions
Dzień dobry. Grałam amatorsko na gitarze klasycznej, dzisiaj z przyjemnością wysłuchałam Etiudę kurpiowską. Dawno temu lubiłam grać Romans miłości, jego pierwszą łatwą część. Pozdrawiam serdecznie😊
Hi B. New classical students seem to always love “Snowflight” by Andrew York. It’s a really great and easy arpeggio study and the fun part for students is when they finally learn to play it at tempo it sounds like snow falling.
I love your channel Beatrix. I struggle with anxiety and OCD. Playing my guitar is my therapy and a great distraction. You have introduced me to some beautiful songs that I have gone on to learn after being inspired by your playing. Thank you ❤
That is amazing! I’m so glad you found music a great way to control your anxiety. That’s great news, thanks for sharing! Hope this video will also give you a few new pieces to learn!
Now it's your turn to recommend one song! Give us: - a title - the composer - a brief reason to learn If you like what I'm doing, consider supporting me on Patreon! www.patreon.com/beatrixguitar
"Sons de Carrilhões" - João Pernambuco- I recommend this song, because it is good for improving rhythmic and interpretative skills, although it is not technically difficult.
My recommendation is Denis Pecauts Nocturne No. 1 "Les Ombres Courbes". It's absolutely beautiful. Just give it a listen. It also feels so good to play, it just floats so naturally.
Johann Kaspar Mertz - Nocturne Op. 4. No. 2 It's relatively easy and reminds me of some songs from the 1960s (e.g. "I Love How You Love Me" by The Paris Sisters) despite being composed 100+ years before that.
What shall I say? To get to your level I had to be born again. Absolutely perfect and there is a thing that how long the guitar sound , is remaining after you press a note.There is not many guitarists which can get that level. My sincerely congratulations. I do appreciate guitarists like you… I will keep watching the whole time. Thank you.
Hey there, Beatrix! I love watching your videos because they inspire me to keep practicing. I was a guitar major all through undergraduate and graduate school, but shortly after had given up playing. That was 40 years ago. The great news is... I was back practicing at least 4 hours a day this past year and loving it! Naturally, I had lost a lot of technique... so I work a lot on hammer-ons and pull-offs (mostly left hand) in order to gain strength and endurance. Thankfully, it seems to be working! I am now able to handle grade 6 pieces with moderate success. I just love playing again... my ultimate goal is to play at nursing homes and local events once retired (in a couple of years). If I continue making the excellent progress I have been, this will be very doable. Thank you for all the inspiration and all your beautiful playing! I enjoy all your uploads!
Frankly it's always have been a big problem to find musical pieces, which are really beautiful but in the same time easy to play, because kids need it so much - play something beautiful but affordable. So I think that it is a very important work to compose easy pieces for the kids of all ages from 6 to 12 so thay can enjoy their music studies and do not play the same 50-100 pieces as their classmates. Also for teachers it is important not to hear the same piece on the lessons, because it can be boooring😅
OMG Beatrix, these are gorgeous! I am a lifelong amateur player returning to the instrument after an extended absence. I am taking lessons with an old teacher of mine, and we are, of course, covering Carcassi, Giuliani, etc. While these are useful, these pieces would impress anyone in performance. Thanks for this effort.
I love your playing. I restarted classical guitar lessons 3 months ago at age 69 after not having played much for decades and no lessons since I was 18 years of age.
I know this is a no, no with classical music, but I couldn't help myself. Especially, when you were playing Canzone d'Amore, I just had to improvise along with you. You can scream now, if need be. But it really brought out some wonderful sounds and moments for me. Quite nice. Thanks. I'll be improvising with some other pieces too, if you don't mind too much.
Dude, it's Mediterranean Sundance performed by Paco de Lucia, John McLughlin and Al Di Meola. It's probably on YT, if you listen to it you'll fall off your chair. I recommend.
@@vlodeklukasz1065 originally is a melody created by Paco de Lucia with the name "rio ancho" , after that happened what you have told , they re-recorded this piece changing the name
💜Each of these pieces is a little gem. Beauty doesn't have to be difficult. Thank you for making us discover Tatyana Stachak, you raised my interest in this composer. All my preferred pieces are either at the advanced level or part of the standard guitar repertoire. I just mention one, my absolute favorite: La Catedral by Barrios.
Just thought I'd mention here that Tatyana Stachak is one of the best modern guitar composers we have, and she has produced one of the best and most enjoyable guitar tutors on the guitar scene.
@@MguitarL I just watched Tatyana's video's of her Characteristic Etudes part 2. So many wonderful pieces! I ordered that book immediately. You are absolutely right, she is very good.
Thank you so much for introducing me to Vals. I never thought I could play something that wasn't just sung with chords. I feel so excited about what I'm capable of now. I learned it in 2 days and can't wait to see what I learn next.
I was about to give up the guitar but after hearing these beautiful masterpieces I want to learn all of them. A beautiful expression of the soul! Great job! Thank you so much! ❤ my favorite musical pieces so far are Canzone de Amore and Nightfall. I love in these pieces the music’s cadence and the melody it has a connection with my heart. 🤍🪽🚴♂️
Hi. I just became a fan of you after watching this video. Ive been playing guitar for 16 year's, was in a death metal band for 5 and have been tryimg to get better at classical style for the past 3 years. Im going to learn these songs for my repatoire. Thank you for making this video
Nightfall is very nice and moody, I like moody melodies so I might learn it today or tomorrow. Thank you :) When it comes to a piece that I recommend: Carlo Domeniconi - Koyunbaba. Now, this is probably not an easy one, I never learned the whole piece, just the first part of it, but it's so beautiful, dark, haunting I just love it.
Koyunbaba is my favorite musical composition of all time! Nice to find another admirer. When I learned it in college I was initially intimidated, but the tuning does most of the work. All we have to do is connect and fly!
I like the rainy etude. I’ve never heard of that composer before, so I’ll defiantly check her out! I feel like rainy etude is just a beautiful piece of music that will fit into any guitarist’s repertoire.
I just reasently started to play classical guitar, but two good warm-up pieces i like to play is: Kansas -Dust in the wind Sting - shape of my heart(for advanced..add drum) They are both simple toplay and sound really nice... And they force me to adjust for the wider neck on a classical guitar.
Thank you for this very helpful video - really useful to me as a guitar teacher! I was so impressed by Kurpie Etude when I came across it in the Trinity syllabus that I contacted Tatiana, and she sent me a friendly reply (thanks Tatiana!). Another set of very simple and effective beginners' pieces is the five Hugh Christie Pieces by Geoffrey Twigg, originally published in the Guildhall syllabus (before it was merged with Trinity), and I think later published by William Elkin. Number 5 is my favourite. Also, I wanted to say how nice it was to see you playing in front of the Lánchíd (I think?) that spans the river between Buda and Pest 🙂
I would recommend Skye Boat Song arranged by David Russell. It's a beautiful traditional piece, but it's also the theme song for Outlander, so you might get some fans that recognize it when you play in front of people. I just like the way the melody is so simple but because it jumps all over the fingerboard it gives an interesting playing aspect.
Op. 35 No. 22 in B Minor by Fernando Sor The harmony of this piece is what made me so appassionate with the '800 classical guitar. It's so moving yet simple.
Yes!!! I got so excited hearing you mention Calatayud. I rarely ever see his name come up in the classical guitar world, but his music is so pretty and accessible. His Suite Antigua (all 3 movements) is very beautiful, and not too challenging. A few years ago, I got a Spanish guitar book that was filled with his repertoire, and unfortunately for me at the time the book didn't include tabs 😂 so I have Calatayud to thank for forcing me to learn how to read standard notation for guitar lol
you really inspire me! I love classical music, but people around me don't get what ,,classical guitarist " is and they think I can't actually play guitar (because they think it's only pop instrument and if I don't play pop songs, then I can't play guitar: ✨logic✨). I wanted to quit because of this soo many times, but people like you keep me in this classical guitar world
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can also learn a few pop songs. 1 you makes the haters shit up 2 some pop songs grow on you once you learn them 3 having some short term goals actually helps you with your long term ones.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and for all the supportive teaching materials that accompanies it! Your sound is beautiful and I love when guitarist give the honor and attention to such pieces as you have presented for us today.
These pieces are beautiful. They require development. What a creative challenge! You are wonderful to share the gift. I love to hear you perform. Thank you for reaching out To all of us. You are kind . Beautiful performance !
Little Romance by Luise Walker. Low-intermediate but not short, with development, very romantic, different technics (simple but impressive for the listener), many possibilities of personalization/interpretation. Love this one!
This was such a great video and the style was very Beatrix! But what really grabbed me was Canzone d’Amore with it’s melodic richness, and of course the setting was captivating.
So, oddly, 'Tears in the Rain' by Joe Satriani, an acoustic piece by the instrumental rock guitarist. What I like about this is the great use of anchor points, movable shapes, pivot points, and fretted-open string arpeggios. A great beginner+ piece. Also 'Fandanguillo' by Moreno-Torroba - made me really think about WHERE I voice phrases - I probably changed how I play this three or four time. I bumped into your channel by chance as it actually turned up while I was searching for stuff on wood-turning. THUMBS UP!!!
Effortlessly beautiful ❤ Music has always played a big part in my life as all my siblings play at least one instrument. Your videos made me finally pick up my guitar again😅
I have been working on Canzone d'Amore. It is a beautiful piece, very melodic. It is one of the most wonderful selections that I have heard you play on your videos. I love your playing and the way you relate so well to your audience. You inspire me to improve and play better. Thank you
So great to hear some not so overplayed very nice pieces. I think I prefer the Flamenco Etude. Loving the "hopping" accenuations in the bass line. Generally all pieces are kind of "refreshing" my ears 🥰
Hello, Beatrix: I know the first piece, Vals by Calatayud. My first guitar teacher gave it to me some years ago and I still play it, I love it. I like your videos a lot, Beatrix, you explain things very easily and clearly. Thanks a lot.
Hi Beatrix! I really love your channel. You're very pedagogical and I also like your playing very much! When it comes to recommendations for easy to intermediate-level pieces, "Sempre solo" and "Souvenir" by Maria Linnemann are also wonderful. Those two, as well as "Canzone d'amore", are all extracts from her beautiful "Suite for Lovers", and the three pieces can very well be played as a suite (I like doing that! Sempre solo - Canzone d'amore - Souvenir, in that order). As to making the melody stand out from the accompaniment, "Souvenir" is a very good example and exercise. It's all just eighth notes, but because of some being in the melody and others in the accompaniment, it sounds much more sophisticated than it is. Keep up your great work, Beatrix, you're very inspiring! Warm greetings from Belgium, Anja.
This all sounds very beautiful. Thank you for playing them. I was inspired by you to learn "Spanish Romance," and now I try for "Canción," from: Little Suite For Guitar" by Rodrigo Riera. You rock!
Heitor Villa Lobos, Etude n°1 It a very challenging piece to properly play (it's very fast). But it's an amazing base to work on your arpegio since the piece only have like 10 chords to learn and the arpegio never change. You don't even need to learn them all, just alternate the first two again and again. And even if you play it very slowly, it's absolutly gorgeous. It's also very efficient to work on your dynamics.
Thank You Beatrix. I was looking for something new to play. I've been becoming more dissatisfied with popular music and classical music is appealing to me more and more.
I need an emoji of one's jaw hanging open! I'm a very novice beginning guitarist, and perhaps someday, some YEAR, in my wildest dreams, I'll be able to play one of the easier pieces from this video. This was absolutely delightful, watching a master! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Evocation - Jose Luis Merlin. One of the most beautiful pieces I stumbled upon on accident. Has the feeling of parting with someone you love, but the memories are still very much alive and with you. You might’ve covered it before but it’s simple and expressive.
Nightfall Panteleimon Michaeloudis. Really enjoyed the bass notes and how you varied the intensity. I really liked the ending with its slowing down and just the dynamics. It really caught my ear far more than any of the other pieces.
I recommend this beautiful piece "Twilight." -Title: Twilight -Artist: Kotaro Oshio Some basic techniques are applied in one piece. I recommend it to improve the precision in which you play.
Beatrix! Thank you for the Nightfall! Amazing, incredible melody! (and super easy). I am in love with this this melody! It’s touched my soul deep inside ❤
Bach Air on a G String, Beethoven Moonlight Sonata, and Albeniz ‘Leyenda’ are all pieces written for other instruments but have been beautifully arranged for Guitar. Worth looking for and practicing
Thanks Beatrix. It's wonderful that "easy" pieces can be deeply moving and filled with mystery. My recommendation is Andecy by Andrew York. It takes me to faraway places and sounds like it might be easy to play.
This video was so awesome! Amazing suggestions. This is so helpful since beginner pieces are usually so boring that can make a student lose interest. Would be great if this video turned into a series!

My favorite piece for intermediate is Asturias - Isaac Albéniz (I know, it might sound difficult, but it is not! I could play that piece in less than 1 year playing the guitar when I was 12 years old)
Hello Beatrix, I happened to arrive here, and your vídeo is fantastic, I have six months that I am studyng classic guitar, and my firts piece was the cataluyd waltz, I love it, is easy but beautiful.
You're so good! You make the easy pieces sound great and harder than they really are. I have an event coming up next month and will put these on my play lists.
Wow, this video is amazing! 🎸 The pieces you introduce are all great and suitable for all skill levels. I really appreciate how you explain each technique and playing style in detail. I’m especially impressed with ‘Nightfall’ and ‘Flamenco Piece’ - they sound mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing these wonderful pieces. I will definitely try to practice them. Looking forward to your next videos! 🎶
Thank you for this wonderful video. My recommendation is the Milonga by Juan Buscaglia - it is such a fun and relatively easy piece to play that always leaves me smiling at the end.
My favorite beginner piece is: The sorrow of the lady of the wood by Australian composer Phillip Houghton. It was the first beginner piece that was emotive and sad, and it was fun to play
Loved all of them, Beatrix😊 I don't have a classical guitar so I'll be learning on steel string for now but my favorite three: Nightfall by Michaeloudis Kurpié and Rainy by Stachak Main reason is they are mostly within my skill level amd I love the flowing feel and voicings ❤
Hi Beatrix!! Love your videos!! Just stumbled on your channel, I just started my classical guitar journey. I really like the dark atmosphere from Nightfall - Panteleimon Michaeloudis and I think it is a good stretch goal piece for me!! Your playing is beautiful!!
I've just come across your content and I love it! I haven't played consistently in years, but now I'm feeling inspired to pick my guitar back up again. One of the song I've always considered to sound way more complicated than it actually is is Classical Gas by Mason Williams. Pretty simple basic chord shapes, so its mostly memorizing and working it up to speed.
This book is fantastic taking beautifuk pieces each adding a little more challenge:24 Exercices très faciles, Op.35: 24 Very Easy Exercises for guitar. Complete score and score with tablatures (French Edition) French Edition | by Fernando Sor
Lovely presentation of interesting easy pieces! I actually prefer playing chill compositions over virtuosic ones so this was right up my alley. My favorite easy piece is probably “Milonga” from Suite del Plata no. 1 by Máximo Diego Pujol. It’s so beautiful and really soars with a delicate touch. Anyway, thank you!
Szia kedves névrokonom, nevedbôl ítélve ( mármint a vezetéknevedbôl ) magyar vagy, csakúgy, mint én. Most találtam a csatornádra, örülök neki. Nagyon szépen játszol, a darabok pedig csodálatosak. ❤
😂canzone d’amor….. while the more difficult piece of this video it may be played ever so slowly as you improve and be a wonderful moment…. Well done young lady

Pavanas-Gaspar Sanz-neat voicing and super cool harmonies. Thanks, Beatrix!
"Sons de Carrilhões" - João Pernambuco- I recommend this song, because it is good for improving rhythmic and interpretative skills, although it is not technically difficult.
"Julia Florida" - Augustin Barrios Mangore - I recommend this song because it's beautiful, even though it's already well known.
My recommendation is Denis Pecauts Nocturne No. 1 "Les Ombres Courbes". It's absolutely beautiful. Just give it a listen. It also feels so good to play, it just floats so naturally.

your playing is so gentle and sublime!!! i absolutely love it! you make simple pieces into a masterpiece
i remember that i learned the "rainy etiude", this piece is so beautiful and easy for beginner guitarrist, of course if you put a lot of work into it.
Beatrix you play the guitar great, I love how you play, such a soft but firm way.
I recommend Canzone d'Amore because it is a beautiful and emotional piece.

Thank you for this very helpful video - really useful to me as a guitar teacher! I was so impressed by Kurpie Etude when I came across it in the Trinity syllabus that I contacted Tatiana, and she sent me a friendly reply (thanks Tatiana!).
Another set of very simple and effective beginners' pieces is the five Hugh Christie Pieces by Geoffrey Twigg, originally published in the Guildhall syllabus (before it was merged with Trinity), and I think later published by William Elkin. Number 5 is my favourite.
Also, I wanted to say how nice it was to see you playing in front of the Lánchíd (I think?) that spans the river between Buda and Pest 🙂
I would recommend Skye Boat Song arranged by David Russell. It's a beautiful traditional piece, but it's also the theme song for Outlander, so you might get some fans that recognize it when you play in front of people. I just like the way the melody is so simple but because it jumps all over the fingerboard it gives an interesting playing aspect.
I recently started the first piece from the Bach Cello Suite, BWV 1007, and Find it really beautiful and quite easy. I highly recommend it.
Hello Beatrice, your passion for Music and the lucidity in your Eyes, the subtlety in your playing.. Are intoxicating.. Love to you, from Grant
Op. 35 No. 22 in B Minor
by Fernando Sor
The harmony of this piece is what made me so appassionate with the '800 classical guitar. It's so moving yet simple.
Excellent presentation from this fine channel. Beatrix is supremely talented with a most appealing manner
Thank you very much for Stachak etudes. I've never heard of Tatiana and I'm teaching my son to play the guitar by myself. So I'm thankful❤
Yes!!! I got so excited hearing you mention Calatayud. I rarely ever see his name come up in the classical guitar world, but his music is so pretty and accessible. His Suite Antigua (all 3 movements) is very beautiful, and not too challenging.
A few years ago, I got a Spanish guitar book that was filled with his repertoire, and unfortunately for me at the time the book didn't include tabs 😂 so I have Calatayud to thank for forcing me to learn how to read standard notation for guitar lol
Hah that’s great, learning to read notation really unlocks a lot of great repertoire
Indeed, just discovered Zambra, fairly accessible, with some rasqueado.
you really inspire me! I love classical music, but people around me don't get what ,,classical guitarist " is and they think I can't actually play guitar (because they think it's only pop instrument and if I don't play pop songs, then I can't play guitar: ✨logic✨). I wanted to quit because of this soo many times, but people like you keep me in this classical guitar world
Don’t let them get in your head! Keep going on your way 😁
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can also learn a few pop songs. 1 you makes the haters shit up 2 some pop songs grow on you once you learn them 3 having some short term goals actually helps you with your long term ones.
@@thediminished98 you know, I can't run away from it (especially that I'm a scout ) but I just prefer to stick to classical
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and for all the supportive teaching materials that accompanies it! Your sound is beautiful and I love when guitarist give the honor and attention to such pieces as you have presented for us today.
You are a good teacher, good music but most of all you're so beautiful. Congratulations and keep on teaching.
These pieces are beautiful. They require development. What a creative challenge!
You are wonderful to share the gift. I love to hear you perform. Thank you for reaching out
To all of us. You are kind . Beautiful performance !
Little Romance by Luise Walker. Low-intermediate but not short, with development, very romantic, different technics (simple but impressive for the listener), many possibilities of personalization/interpretation. Love this one!
This was such a great video and the style was very Beatrix! But what really grabbed me was Canzone d’Amore with it’s melodic richness, and of course the setting was captivating.
So, oddly, 'Tears in the Rain' by Joe Satriani, an acoustic piece by the instrumental rock guitarist. What I like about this is the great use of anchor points, movable shapes, pivot points, and fretted-open string arpeggios. A great beginner+ piece. Also 'Fandanguillo' by Moreno-Torroba - made me really think about WHERE I voice phrases - I probably changed how I play this three or four time. I bumped into your channel by chance as it actually turned up while I was searching for stuff on wood-turning. THUMBS UP!!!
Effortlessly beautiful ❤ Music has always played a big part in my life as all my siblings play at least one instrument. Your videos made me finally pick up my guitar again😅
I have been working on Canzone d'Amore. It is a beautiful piece, very melodic. It is one of the most wonderful selections that I have heard you play on your videos. I love your playing and the way you relate so well to your audience. You inspire me to improve and play better. Thank you
So great to hear some not so overplayed very nice pieces. I think I prefer the Flamenco Etude. Loving the "hopping" accenuations in the bass line.
Generally all pieces are kind of "refreshing" my ears 🥰
I really liked your video on the 6 easier songs, really nice and great ideas for my playing. Keep up the great work and beautiful playing! ❤
thank you for your support too!
Hello, Beatrix:
I know the first piece, Vals by Calatayud. My first guitar teacher gave it to me some years ago and I still play it, I love it.
I like your videos a lot, Beatrix, you explain things very easily and clearly. Thanks a lot.
La Paloma, beautiful piece.
Hi Beatrix! I really love your channel. You're very pedagogical and I also like your playing very much! When it comes to recommendations for easy to intermediate-level pieces, "Sempre solo" and "Souvenir" by Maria Linnemann are also wonderful. Those two, as well as "Canzone d'amore", are all extracts from her beautiful "Suite for Lovers", and the three pieces can very well be played as a suite (I like doing that! Sempre solo - Canzone d'amore - Souvenir, in that order). As to making the melody stand out from the accompaniment, "Souvenir" is a very good example and exercise. It's all just eighth notes, but because of some being in the melody and others in the accompaniment, it sounds much more sophisticated than it is. Keep up your great work, Beatrix, you're very inspiring!
Warm greetings from Belgium,
Anja.
This all sounds very beautiful. Thank you for playing them. I was inspired by you to learn "Spanish Romance," and now I try for "Canción," from: Little Suite For Guitar" by Rodrigo Riera. You rock!
Heitor Villa Lobos, Etude n°1
It a very challenging piece to properly play (it's very fast). But it's an amazing base to work on your arpegio since the piece only have like 10 chords to learn and the arpegio never change. You don't even need to learn them all, just alternate the first two again and again. And even if you play it very slowly, it's absolutly gorgeous. It's also very efficient to work on your dynamics.
Thank You Beatrix. I was looking for something new to play. I've been becoming more dissatisfied with popular music and classical music is appealing to me more and more.
Quality and content of your videos are top notch! I will try these beautiful musical pieces you recommend.
Glad you like them! I really enjoyed recording and editing this one :)
I need an emoji of one's jaw hanging open! I'm a very novice beginning guitarist, and perhaps someday, some YEAR, in my wildest dreams, I'll be able to play one of the easier pieces from this video. This was absolutely delightful, watching a master! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Hi Beatrix, the Vals was great, it was the first piece I learned when learning classical guitar back in the 1990's!
Flamenco etude. I love Flamenco gutiar. All the pieces were beautiful.
Thank you Beatrix for beautiful pieces . Love to listen and learn new sounds on my classic guitar .
Awesome, have fun!
Evocation - Jose Luis Merlin.
One of the most beautiful pieces I stumbled upon on accident. Has the feeling of parting with someone you love, but the memories are still very much alive and with you.
You might’ve covered it before but it’s simple and expressive.
Thanks so much for pointing out these pieces - been studying guitar (on and off) for about 50 years and had not come across any of them.
Nightfall Panteleimon Michaeloudis. Really enjoyed the bass notes and how you varied the intensity. I really liked the ending with its slowing down and just the dynamics. It really caught my ear far more than any of the other pieces.
I recommend this beautiful piece "Twilight."
-Title: Twilight
-Artist: Kotaro Oshio
Some basic techniques are applied in one piece. I recommend it to improve the precision in which you play.
Beatrix! Thank you for the Nightfall! Amazing, incredible melody! (and super easy). I am in love with this this melody! It’s touched my soul deep inside ❤
Bach Air on a G String, Beethoven Moonlight Sonata, and Albeniz ‘Leyenda’ are all pieces written for other instruments but have been beautifully arranged for Guitar. Worth looking for and practicing
Thanks Beatrix. It's wonderful that "easy" pieces can be deeply moving and filled with mystery. My recommendation is Andecy by Andrew York. It takes me to faraway places and sounds like it might be easy to play.
Excellent! I'm expanding my repertoire from prog rock to classical. this video is very helpful
This video was so awesome! Amazing suggestions. This is so helpful since beginner pieces are usually so boring that can make a student lose interest. Would be great if this video turned into a series!
My favorite piece for intermediate is Asturias - Isaac Albéniz (I know, it might sound difficult, but it is not! I could play that piece in less than 1 year playing the guitar when I was 12 years old)
Hello Beatrix, I happened to arrive here, and your vídeo is fantastic, I have six months that I am studyng classic guitar, and my firts piece was the cataluyd waltz, I love it, is easy but beautiful.
You're so good! You make the easy pieces sound great and harder than they really are. I have an event coming up next month and will put these on my play lists.
Have fun!
Wow, this video is amazing! 🎸 The pieces you introduce are all great and suitable for all skill levels. I really appreciate how you explain each technique and playing style in detail. I’m especially impressed with ‘Nightfall’ and ‘Flamenco Piece’ - they sound mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing these wonderful pieces. I will definitely try to practice them. Looking forward to your next videos! 🎶
Thank you for this wonderful video. My recommendation is the Milonga by Juan Buscaglia - it is such a fun and relatively easy piece to play that always leaves me smiling at the end.
Great suggestion!
Do you have a link to music and tabs?
Brilliant. Can’t wait to be able to get your up and coming compilation book.
Thanks! The legal part is the most complicated for me and will take some time for sure, writing down the arrangements is easy peasy then
Have you come across David Gálvez “Left hand” video? It’s great.
My favorite beginner piece is:
The sorrow of the lady of the wood by Australian composer Phillip Houghton.
It was the first beginner piece that was emotive and sad, and it was fun to play
These are beautiful. I really love the Nightfall piece.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beatrix, I love what you do for the guitar..! Thanks! 🥰
I started a few months ago, you are an amazing inspiration, this video helped SO MUCH! I cannot stop playing that! ❤
@@Ca-rp7bv Where did you found the parts ? Did you bought it ?
Loved all of them, Beatrix😊 I don't have a classical guitar so I'll be learning on steel string for now but my favorite three:
Nightfall by Michaeloudis
Kurpié and Rainy by Stachak
Main reason is they are mostly within my skill level amd I love the flowing feel and voicings ❤
Hi Beatrix!!
Love your videos!! Just stumbled on your channel, I just started my classical guitar journey. I really like the dark atmosphere from Nightfall - Panteleimon Michaeloudis and I think it is a good stretch goal piece for me!! Your playing is beautiful!!
canzone is the best. Great channel. Keep up the good work.
I've just come across your content and I love it! I haven't played consistently in years, but now I'm feeling inspired to pick my guitar back up again. One of the song I've always considered to sound way more complicated than it actually is is Classical Gas by Mason Williams. Pretty simple basic chord shapes, so its mostly memorizing and working it up to speed.
Hi there from Spain. I’ve come across your channel by chance and have watched this video with delight and pleasure. Thanks a lot!
Reiner Falk - Up and Down - easy to play, and sounds absolutely amazing!
This was just the kind of video I was looking for, now I've got a lot to practice, thx all the pieces here are just great
You have motivated me to learn classical music. Thank you.🥰
Thank you for these pieces , specially for representing women's works. And ...I love Linnemann pieces :)
This book is fantastic taking beautifuk pieces each adding a little more challenge:24 Exercices très faciles, Op.35: 24 Very Easy Exercises for guitar. Complete score and score with tablatures (French Edition)
French Edition | by Fernando Sor
Carlo Domeniconi's Semplice is one of the easiest yet beautiful piece.
Köszönöm szépen ezt a videót! Még sajna nem találtam meg a kedvencem, de törekszem arra a tudásra, amit tőled tapasztalhattam.
Some lovely and interesting pieces. My favourite is the Flamenco one! Thank you!
Bella Ciao, arranged by Jouyan Tarzaban. It is a beautiful Italian folk song. It's pretty easy to learn. And Siccas Guitars did a recent video on it.
I hid something for the long time followers, let me know if you found it :)
Okay I’ll help, it’s in the intro 😅
Is it your little bluetooth microphone with your wee face on it. @beatrixguitar
@@eddierodgerguitarist4763 haha nope, I just made that because it’s cute 😃😂
To git GUD?
@@Netram2 nope :P
Congrats, lovely playing and great musics. Could I ask you what is the brand and model of you guitar? Or the Luthier. It’s marvellous
Beatrix plays a guitar by Italian Luthier Gioacchino Giussani (640 scale)
Just learned Vals by Calatayud. Learned it in two days to fluency just coming from years of death metal playing on electric guitar.
Lovely presentation of interesting easy pieces! I actually prefer playing chill compositions over virtuosic ones so this was right up my alley.
My favorite easy piece is probably “Milonga” from Suite del Plata no. 1 by Máximo Diego Pujol. It’s so beautiful and really soars with a delicate touch.
Anyway, thank you!
Szia kedves névrokonom, nevedbôl ítélve ( mármint a vezetéknevedbôl ) magyar vagy, csakúgy, mint én. Most találtam a csatornádra, örülök neki. Nagyon szépen játszol, a darabok pedig csodálatosak. ❤
This is really excellent work, Beatrix! - the performance and production. You are doing very well.
Etude no 3 by Matteo Carcassi. Beautiful melody, melodic basses and great chord progression.
Lovely rendition of Vals 👏🏻Thanks for reminding me of it's existence!
😂canzone d’amor….. while the more difficult piece of this video it may be played ever so slowly as you improve and be a wonderful moment….
Well done young lady
