Very, very well played. This is my latest project, I've only just started learning it and it's always good to have a reference to listen to when practicing, to have an idea of what it's supposed to sound like. Great work and a great song.

Beautifully and sensitively played. Many guitarists play this piece too fast. The allemande was a dance with a moderate tempo, rather stately. "In his Musikalisches Lexicon (Leipzig, 1732), Johann Gottfried Walther wrote that the allemande 'must be composed and likewise danced in a grave and ceremonious manner.'" -- Wikipedia

Very moving - your work brings a beautiful echo from the past to life again! This was originally for the lute?

[Francisco1950]

Thanks. Yes, This piece was originally written for the Lute. Robert Johnson wrote many pieces for that instrument. He was well known and regarded as a leading Lute player and composer. If you go to Wikipedia and enter Robert Johnson lute player you will get a brief biography of him and a list of some of his compositions.

Though, you play it beautifully on a guitar. I am seeing the connections - Once I happened by a music store, trying on a keyboard a string part played by Steve Howe - on a Lute! (YES's Wonderous Stories). I could not recall well, and had played several descending chords, trying to find the right notes - with variations. Chris Martin picked this up, and it became Clocks! Which, much to my surprise, found its way back to string insrutuments..! I will check on R.Johnson. Thanks again.

Robert Johnson II - composed music for England's James I & Shakespear! Quite amazing - so that places him well in the realm of history to which we are all familiar..

Beautiful! It's possible to rank with 5stars even though it might not be the worlds most difficult guitar piece! 5stars for it's flowing beauty...

[Francisco1950]

Thank you svinland for your comment. It is indeed a great little piece.
