Love this version, a lot of the guitar composers from this era especially with study pieces are made to sound very dry this sounds anything but. Very pleasant to listen to with lots of expression.
a really really beatiful performance, thank you very much, i not only enjoy listening to it, but i also use it to study this opus. thanks a lot, greetings.
@@JuanLeon-oe2gr you are some player to record all these and other stuff , amazing skill and work ,how long did it take ?lot of these are very difficult
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar Greetings, Alan. After watching your videos ( impressive piano, wonderful setting, remarkable playing), I think you already know the answer to your question : Practice. And I mean: a lot of Practice. Just that. Add that to soulful playing (which you have in spades) and anyone can make better vídeos than mine. Really. Thanks for commenting, keep playing and stay safe!
@@JuanLeon-oe2gr thanks Juan , yes Im still playing ,practicing hard ,trying to get better (wishing I was better ☺ ) , labour of love I guess I listened to all your sor op 31 in bed few days ago , such lovely playing ,im doing few of the pieces in it , id love to do all of the segovia sor studies ,that would be brilliant Are you working on anything at the moment? Do you revise any of the pieces you recorded?
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar Ecactly, I'm working on Sor op 6 nowadays.. If I am lucky, I'll upload it this year. It's so beautiful, I have to do it right. So, I'm taking my time. How about you?
+Juan Leon you're welcome and thank you, most kind. Very much enjoyed, there is no tension in your sound and it's pleasurable to listen or just hear. Get a sense of enjoyment in your sound also. Cheers.
Thank you! You play each piece so well, and I am able to follow the sheets perfectly. I am learning some of these, and this has helped with the timings. I really appreciate your expressiveness, especially no. 9.
The final piece, Allegro Brillante, sounds like the full flourishing of your musicality when compared to the earlier version #20. I thoroughly enjoyed all 25, thank you.
+Noel Hughes Hi, Noel! Number 20 is indeed a preparation for number 25. It also sounds faster because the first is in triplets while the second is in semiquavers (hey, sorry if you know this already!!!) . Overall the 25th studio was a big challenge, mostly because I've been suffering a bad case of trigger finger for a while now. As of this moment I'm not playing the guitar waiting for my finger to heal itself. I'm glad you liked this recording and thanks for commenting!!!!!
Voted "like" on 5 February 2016. Bedtime music :) And since the composer died in the 19th Century, I am quite sure all his work is out of copyright and in the Public Domain.
Me gustaria, por supuesto. Pero primero tengo que sanar mi mano izquierda. Ya son siete meses en los que no he tomado la guitarra. Veremos que pasa. Saludos!!!
@Juan Leon Did you use "p" on 4, 5, 6 strings and "i, m, a" on 1, 2, 3 strings? Or did you use a "i, m" on scale runs on the 4, 5, 6 strings? I'm just curious if you used Carcassi method of fingerings or modified to a more "modern" approach. I might be confusing Carcassi's pedological technique with another composer. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks for your beautiful efforts!
Hi! Sorry, but I really don't remember how it all went as to what fingers I used for the Studies. I think I tried to keep all the fingerings suggested by Carcassi, but I can't be certain about it. Now that I reflect on past analysis, I recall spending time trying different finger solutions. You are right in that some fingerings were not that "modern" considering for example how the ring finger was not commonly used at that time or how the thumb was used for specific strings and in an always-resting way. Anyway, I think you should try what is best for you and if it sounds right and serves you right, what else can you ask for? Good luck and stay safe. Gretings.
@@JuanLeon-oe2gr I just dug up my old Carcassi Method and played through it from the beginning again! I forgot how archaic and unwieldy his RH technique is to play with the pinky on the guitar. I'm glad pedagogy has improved since the classical era. So funny. Thanks again for posting your music!
@@classicalteacher I don't remember using the pinky finger for these etudes. If there was indeed a call for It to be used in an exercise or two , I probably sorted It out using another fingering. Given the slimmer and shorter body of old romántic guitars, Index and middle finger could take the job easily in those days. Exercises for the ring one make sense since building strenght for playing arpeggios was/is/will be always important. As for the Pinky... I'd have to check my manual. Anyway, using the Pinky will come handy for Villa Lobos. Grretings!
@@JuanLeon-oe2gr "el dedo chiquito estendido y apoyado sobre la tapa" "the little finger extended and slightly resting on the sound board." This is a quote from "The Right Hand" on page 19. G. C. Santisteban. As you know, it's sometimes done by pop/rock/folk guitarists today, but I can't think of another professional classical guitarist that would ever submit to that pinky torture! I did try going through these studies with a modern sized classical and immediately gave up in fear of self-harm. Thanks for the conversation. It's been enlightening and a fun, historical pedagogical distraction.
Hola Juan, Te pregunto como está tu mano y si sigues tocando la guitarra. Yo llevo 10 años sin poder tocar por lesiones en la mano izquierda. ¡Podrías imaginar la frustración!
Lamento mucho tu situación. En mi caso, si estoy tocando guitarra clásica, trato de no forzar mucho las posiciones, tocar más lento y en intervalos de tiempo cada vez más cortos. Debido a esto y al trabajo, no grabo desde hace buen tiempo. Quería aprovechar la cuarentena pero otros instrumentos demandan tocar sin uñas en la derecha así que una vez más las he cortado y futuras grabaciones tendrán q seguir esperando como el siguiente set de estudios de Sor. He escuchado q muchos instrumentistas se inyectan para el dolor pero no lo he considerado, aún. Ojalá las cosas mejoren para ti. Cuídate y más en estos tiempos difíciles. Un abrazo.
Hi Juan, Is there any way I could communicate with you via facebook or email, I would love to ask you some questions, if this is possible. Thanks. Matthew
Carcassi has such a down home Sweetness and friendliness played in a very excellent sort of way. Thanks!
Juan Leon Bravo🎉
So excellent, really enjoying the sensitivity you infuse into each one. You really make the Carcassi etudes come alive. Much appreciated!
Love this version, a lot of the guitar composers from this era especially with study pieces are made to sound very dry this sounds anything but. Very pleasant to listen to with lots of expression.
Perfect! That’s what I’ve been looking for 👏👏👏👏
Tremendo trabajo, titánico. Maravilloso, gracias maestro.
Thank you Juan. Just came across this and along with all the comments from other people I feel the same. Your work is uplifting. 🙏

A big hug for you too, thanks!!!
Excellent..Thanks for posting...
You are very welcome!
Mis inicios en guitarra, especiales para mejorar la técnica de pulsación y precisión, además son hermosos
Me quede un poco lejos haciendoles justicia, pero al menos que sirvan como aliciente para quienes deseen grabarlo como se debe.
nicely done
Qué hermoso, muchas gracias por compartir. Saludos. :)
Gracias a ti tambien.
Great playing and interpretation, Juan! Cheers from Brasil!
Very good👍👍
I greatly enjoy your recordings. Thank you!

It's a beautiful study. Something Sor could have written.
My first Carcassi piece I learned years ago and my mother's, RIP, favorite.
haha so diverse tastes can be... I personally hate the feeling of it :o ... cheers!
I play it most every dsy..
Excellent performance. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Beautiful ❤️
Amazing...Thanks man!!!

Sensacional.
Nearly one hour of beatiful music! Thankyou!!!

Allegro in C is not on IMSLP, RIP. And I'm too lazy to transcribe.
beautiful!!!!! I love your channel!!!! I suscribe (1, 357)
Thank you!!!!
Beautiful!
Please can you tell me what equipment do you use to record the audio ?
Thanks!
Hi! It's a Tascam DR 05 Recorder. There are better and more expensive devices you can get, but this one is useful enough for me . Greetings!
Hola Juan! Sería fantástico que grabaras los 25 de Coste. Creo que no hay ninguna versión completa en TH-cam.
Me gustaria, por supuesto. Pero primero tengo que sanar mi mano izquierda. Ya son siete meses en los que no he tomado la guitarra. Veremos que pasa. Saludos!!!
Espero que te recuperes.
¿Pero porqué se te lastimó la mano? :(
Tendonitis. Un mal al que todos los musicos estamos expuestos. Saludos!!!!
@@JuanLeon-oe2gr I'm also very sad because I was injured. Greetings from Vietnam😢
are these in the book Carcassi classical guitar method ?
It is usually in a different book. The Methode is Op 59
Buena amigooo
