Michelangelo Galilei Toccata

[Nephente]

This is an amazingly beautiful piece played inmaculately....congratulation­s from Texas...!

[mauerbluemchen001]

Beautiful music, I´m astonished.

..all lefts reversed.. :D

[OuelletteGTR]

Tell me Per-Olov, how in the world did I ever miss this beautiful piece you've played? incredible touch you have with any song you choose to play.

[42TulsaGirl]

Absolutely lovely. Thank you.

[skillzthatchillz]

Vincenzo Galilei was a musical theorist and lutenist while his first son Galileo was the great astronomer and scientist who gets a mention by Queen in Bohemian Rhapsody. I think you got them confused.

[joebsus4]

Hi Per-Olov, thanks for the nice piece and score. Just to let you know, there is a mistake in bars 6/7; these two bars should be one bar only-simply half the note values. Ciao, Joseph.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Joseph. Appreciated. Actually it is me playing the two measures too fast. The score is correct! I just checked it. I am amazed you noticed this! Great job. Please play it as it is written in the score.

Kind regards,

Per-olov

[riveraluciano]

excellent, what i needed to end my day.. thank you for this

[aligatorsandwitch72]

FREEBIRD!!

[jzippo]

Are you playing with a capo at thirds fret? If so, how are you playing the low E in bars 6/7/8/17 etc? Down tuned the string? I assume without capo then open would be c#/a/d/f#/b/e?

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. I am playing with a capo in III, yes. My tuning is G C F A D G (with the capo). so the low E is actually a low G...

Per-Olov

[jzippo]

Many thanks. Sorry to ask so many more questions but I am working my way through the sheet music I downloaded (I was captivated when I heard you play it) and had started trying to play in A on open strings.

Was the piece originally not in A then?

I cannot work out yet why the G string is retuned - is it just so the "F#" can be played on open "G" string instead of fingering the "4th" fret on the D string ?

Why notate in A and not C?

[AndanteLargo]

When you play renessaince music on a guitar you normally put a capo in 3rd. because the lute was tunes a minor third above the modern guitar. So to maintain the original key (C) you have to play in A with a capo in third. Also the tuning of 3rd. str. to F# is to make it easier and more original to play.. But all this is of course up to the player. You can play this with no capo and with 3rd. in G...

Good luck!

Per-Olov

[jzippo]

Many thanks for your kind advice. I think I'll try it as you have it so I can aim for your tone and quality. I am also working on the Bouree which you do so well.

[neverruthless]

Truly beautiful. Exquisitely played! His music should be better known, It is very beautiful music!!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. i agree! I am doing my best to spread his music.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[JohannesKapsberger]

How beautiful music!

I have actually searched music by Michelangelo Galilei to buy in the stores but didn´t find, but then I found it here.

And I love to hear you Peo play this cause you are one of the wonderfullest guitarists here on youtube.

You are so kind and play so beautiful.

Lovely music!

[wirmike]

[AndanteLargo]

Mille grazie!

Salute,

Per-Olov

[professorina]

Very beautiful, thanks.

By the way the famous astronomer was Galileo Galilei, son of Vincenzo Galilei (who was composer and musicologist, as we would call him today).

[idunnodavy]

fucking beautiful thank you

[skatemore33]

you are exactly what i want to look like in 40 years :)

[AndanteLargo]

.-) So you are only 12? Oh! I wish I was your age again... :-)

No, I am kidding, I like my age very much. I couldn't play like this when I was your age.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[firesoftheempyrean]

Pulchritudinous and haunting. Wonderfully beautiful, resounding in spirit and light. Thank you for the music *and* thank you for the education... I was not aware of Michelangelo Galilei before today.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi1 I am glad you like M. Galilei too1 I just love his music! Please keep listening to me and him :)

What is Pulchritudinous?? :)

[AnchoriteProductions]

Super! Love the resonance produced by wood room! Would like to know the kind of microphone you are using as it is doing a great job capturing the beautiful tone of your classical guitar. Thanks for posting!

[BankersAreAssassins]

great entertainer: baroque at its best

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot. This is renaissance though...

[akroatis]

Thank you for this quality music. The wood setting seems to resonate with the guitar, which makes the whole piece come alive!

[DesultoryDilettante]

As always, very well played.

A gentle correction: Vincenco Galilei was a musician and Galileo Galilei, his son, was the astronomer and scientist.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks for the correction!

Best wishes,

Per-Olov

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks for listenings!!

Andreas

[AndanteLargo]

Kind regards,

[milktop1]

Where do you perform? Where can I buy your music? The sound is perfect. I want this on a loop in my brain.

[AndanteLargo]

[milktop1]

I was having a bad day until I heard this. Amazing!

[AndanteLargo]

LOL! Thank a lot. i'm happy it helped to improve your day!!

Thanks and kind regards,

Peo

[Johnston87]

Is this your own arrangement? If it is you should put it on editionglobal for us! Maybe it's a combonation of your song choice and playing but everytime I hear you play a piece I feel like learning to play it myself. Thanks for the inspiration

[AndanteLargo]

Hi! Thank you. This is not an arrangement. It's the original tabulature. But I will publish it on EditionGlobal later! I am very happy you feel like playing when you hear me. That's the most imortant thing for me.

Kind regards,

Peo

[ea17slinger]

Is that an empty room? I like how the sound reverberates.

[AndanteLargo]

Yes it's a very large room I have upstairs 100 m2. But I add some reverb to the video too...

Peo

[chessmaster1018]

Hi Peo, I can't beleive your #35 on YouTube, you should be #1, affer I get done telling people about you I hope you make it to #1, you should be. I wish you were coming the the U.S.A., I'd be the first in line for tickets. I live in N.J. in a little town across the river from Philadelphia. Will your music books be for sale in the U.S.A.? chessmaster1018

[urik]

I don't love acoustic guitars that much. But you make it sound like heaven. Love your videos so much :)

[AndanteLargo]

THank you urik! I'm happy if i can get more to listen to classical guitar! You made my day!

Regards,

Peo

[priscibisbi]

[Betelgeuzus]

Merkelig sammentreff -jeg fant denne Toccataen i Per-Olof Johnsens "Altgitarren". Går ypperlig på min 8-strengers Leonardo gitar, øver i juleferien.

Why do you use your capo?

[Betelgeuzus]

Thanks Peo for this beautiful neverheardbefore music!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! Yes isn't it beautiful!? I love M. Gallileo. I will publish this piece (and some other) on editionglobal dot com in a short while.

Peo

[ovidiov]

My congratulations, Maestro! your delicatesse on playing this piece is really very special!

you are my idol!

[Tonty53]

THANKS! (with a little help from a friend.. lets try in english).

I found and purchased the book "Il primo libro d'intavolatura di liuto" by Ruggero Chiesa.Thank you again for the music and for having me made aware of this musician.Keep up the good job.BEN FATTO.

YOU ROCK !!

[AndanteLargo]

You are welcome! Glad you found it! Molto bene! Belissima.

Regards,

Peo

[Tonty53]

Altro brano altra ottima musica !!

Le chiederei se può indicarmi l'editore e il titolo del libro o della raccolta in cui sono riportati i brani perchè sarei interessato ad acquistarli

Grazie ancora per la splendida musica.

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Tonty53, I simply don't understand what you say... :-( My ex-wife was fron Lugano (Switzerland) and her mothertoung was/is Italian but I never learnt it (I regret it now...) Could you try to repost it in English, please...

Peo

[AndanteLargo]

OK! I get it now (with a little help from a friend) The music is taken from a book published by Edizioni Suvini Zerboni - Milano. Edited by R. Chiesa.

[onuryazgan]

Master Work and Great Performance!

Thanx MAESTRO!

With My Best Wishes...

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you for you words! As I say in the videoinfo: this is not very wellknown and then this music is so beautiful it almost hurts..

[KrisShred]

very nice :)

[tomalin]

I don't usually like lute pieces on guitar - the tone tends to be too plummy. This performance, however - like the others by this musician - are played with such sensitive care given to the phrasing that they gently caress away my normal objections. Beautiful: thank you!

[marvl]

Nice tone and volume from the guitar. Sounds like a keeper to me.

[danyer]

You are right! That's beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
