      Thank you :) I bought the printed version just as the pdf version.
      A specially the booklet feels very premium. I'm looking forward to playing it hopefully in a couple of years since my level of playing isn't there yet. ; )

      Great stuff, I bought it too. My family will go nuts before I have this down. ^.^
      EDIT: The right hand fingering is not included in the score. The secret to this piece is very much in the right hand.

    That was incredible!!
    We can hear his breathing, but the focused look he gives proves how intense this music is, regardless of the instrument you play it with.

    The way this piece is performed is amazing. Just like how one vocalist sings all the characters of Erlkönig. One can almost hear the different voices of the characters. From the sweet words of the Elf King to the reassurance of the father.

    I hope this arrangement gets included in many guitarists concert repertoire so that it gets played everywhere, it's fabulous and really shows the guitars potential.

    Came here from Hilary Hahn's Erlkönig on violin and I fell in love with this piece, and have been scraping the internet for all the Erlkönig peformances I can find. This is the first time I heard Erlkönig on guitar, it's amazing! A true LingLing!
    It's amazing how the color of the sound changes as it shifts among different characters in this piece. For a sec a thought you are doing left hand pizz on a guitar, (is that a thing?) but anyway it was so powerful!
    If the Elf king talks to me like that, I'll be seduced as well.
    I wonder if he will perform this piece at Carnegie hall this incoming April.

    • @johansmith8597
      @johansmith8597  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Left hand pizz is a million times easier on guitar than it is on violin. We don't really call them pizzicato on guitar, cause everything on guitar is pizzicato. Instead we call them pull offs, or slurs. And because guitars have frets, they're much easier than on violin, and it allows for some very impressive and showy sounds. Look up some math rock tapping if you wanna see that style of playing taken to it's fullest. "Midwest emo riffage" is a good, short vid.
      Edit: more info. Ok, so classical guitarists and modern guitarists have different terms. Pizz means something in classical guitar, but it's different from violin pizz. Pizz on classical guitar is a *muted* string pluck. In modern guitar, we call it palm muting, and it's very important in genres of guitar music like metal. Distorted palm muting is what gives metal music that chugging, machine gun kind of sound.

      @@vikigmd8975 thanks for checking in. I realized that some of the later sections are more difficult than I anticipated, so it’s become a longer term project. I still play the opening quite often, for fun 🤩, but I’m still a mile away from being able to perform it. It is still on my radar, though.
      Truth is, I’ve been lacking motivation for learning new rep lately. Classical gigs have been pretty scarce and I’ve basically been a jazz musician full time for the past year.
