Russian Romance - Classical Composition by Alex Chudnovsky

[DavidZelenskiy]

I know its kind of rude to go on someone else's channel and ask for views, but Alex has inspired me for a very long time now, and I just got around to uploading a few of my classical videos. If you take a look at my channel, I PROMISE YOU it won't be a waste of your time! Beautifully played Alex, my respect for you is above high. Thank you everyone.

[chudnovsky]

@DavidZelenskiy I approve this message :-), check his channel out guys! ;-)

[DavidZelenskiy]

@chudnovsky Thanks so much! :D

[EversonofDave]

This is lovely, would you mind if I did an arrangment for the piano? (I'll link this video to it obviously)

[chudnovsky]

[747euro]

very good performance !!!

[zarcero21]

Alex, thanks so much for publishing the tabs and notation. This is such a great composition. I like it better than "Spanish Romance," and it certainly is better than Tarrega's "Etude in E Minor." You are a gifted genius.

[chudnovsky]

@zarcero21 thanks man !! :-)

[alpenmumie]

I first heard this song covered by someone over the xbox two days ago and instantly fell in love with it. I've been trying to learn it since but it's hard because finger picking isn't my strong suit. You have incredible talent man keep on composing these wonderful pieces!

-Ian

[chudnovsky]

@fadingshadow122 Thanks very much Ian, I appreciate you words :)

Cheers,

Alex

[VitaMorior]

Hard to learn. Wonderful experience to learn it.

[chudnovsky]

@VitaMorior glad your enjoying it :)) thanks !! :)

[3xtremeSub4sub]

hey, I'm learning this now, beautiful classical piece. I'm sure it will be famous. Cheers from Canada

[chudnovsky]

@asg1999 Thanks Nadia :-)

[ojit1979]

i watched this song played by someone else on youtube. He mentioned the composer as Alex Chudnovsky to which I imagined a 19th century romantic guitarist like Tarrega. Later, I saw this video and I couldnt believe my eyes that it was made recently by someone who is still alive! Lol. This sounds like a classic. So simple and so melodic! I will definitely buy your CD. And I am sure, if the world exists for 200 years more, this will be taught in music schools.

[chudnovsky]

@ojit1979 Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment... one of the best comments I think I have ever received on here, it's very much appreciated :-))))))

Cheers,

Alex

[griffinmatter]

Great guitar work.

You have grea talent!

[vitaliyaful]

Wonderful! I like it!

[phobkirk2]

Hi Alex,

We saw you at Ironfest on Sunday, thanks you again for a magic performance.

When I got home I saw a comment on my son's youtube clips... followed the link to a young dude from Norway playing this song.

What a small world - and I'm glad we "came across you in it" on Sunday. I've downloaded the sheet music for this song (hope its legal?).

I'll send you a link once Will can play it.

Thanks again, the traffic jam back to Sydney passed more pleasantly listening to your CD

Paul

[chudnovsky]

@phobkirk2 Hi Paul, thanks for dropping in to say hi, wow.. a small world indeed :).. yeah the iron fest was great.. a very cool little festival... glad you enjoyed the CD ... I look forward to seeing the link..

all the best

Alex

[TheAwesomeeddy]

[chudnovsky]

@TheAwesomeeddy thanks buddy :-)

[lilxkhanhxtran]

[Stalinsurfstheweb]

What i love about it is that it's simple so that even i can play it, yet at the same time its such a beautiful sound

[X3LAIAS]

I had been looking for a song that made my ears shake.....this is it. Its very simple to play...its very rich...so fantastic. I have no words to describe it. Its a song full of feelings. I congratulate you Alex. Those are the hardest songs to compose. Im still trying to get "the song".

Greetings from Mexico!

[yourlistener]

Beautiful melody! I am going to sing it all day long. Very very nice.

[celestialsam]

This is my theme song for today =) XoX

[popcornandporn]

sir... absolutely amazing... definitely something you should be hearing so you think you can dance while someone attemps to do a classical style dance to it... reguardless... just wonderful friend.

[Changxiao94538]

Alex, I have to say, You are a Genius, You are alive Mozart.

Write more please.

[chudnovsky]

@Changxiao94538 your very kind, thank you :-)))

[chumanchu98]

i can play the whole song... except for that impossible thing you do at 0:32.

[hamelkarl]

@chumanchu98 This part looks freaking hard for sure...

[JTIanEater]

@chumanchu98 it's quite easy to do, but to do it while keeping the song sounding fluid? now that's damned hard.

[LOzidaneVE]

well done

[OEllaO]

relaxing~

I should try and learn this song!

[violeirosurbanos]

Great composition! Thumbs up!

Greetings from Brazil!

[alexbros2]

[FermentedBeancurd92]

great job dude . very nice

[chudnovsky]

@FermentedBeancurd92 thanks :) 

[frankyis01]

i love playing your song but i find it's much easier to play an open A string instead of barring the 5th, causing that awkward hand position.

[chudnovsky]

@frankyis01 heh.. well said, these days I play it like that as well!  :)...

[boogeymanhydrobudda]

damn man that is really good



[chudnovsky]

@boogeymanhydrobudda thanks man :))

[1greggg]

thank you for this piece of art :) i've just learnd that and i can play this all day long, with no break,

Cheers,

Alex

[chudnovsky]

@1gaia Thanks very much :) 

[beev7]

beautiful...superb!

[cather333]

Hi Alex,

So beautiful. ***** +++++

Realy love your music Alex.

Catherine ♥

[PhilWithCoffee]

You make that stretch at the 14th, barring the 5th and pressing the 10th, seem to simple. It really reminds me how much more I need to learn and train. Your compositions are enjoyable to listen to and fun to perform. Cheers!

[robicool]

@PhilWithCoffee i know, that really stretches my hand apart!

[urmomandad]

This was the first song I wanted to learn on guitar, proud to say I play it at least once a day, just as practice / warm up. Getting better alllllllll the time.

[sevenender]

a great tune wow!

[RectalDiscourse]

arguably my favorite composition :)

[TheTucsonJeff]

I like your composition, and your playing!! Very good. I'll look for some more from you.

[EvieHippie]

Wow, this is very good... It definitely has that 'Russian' vibe, which is hard to achieve! Beautiful!!!

[timzers7447]

Damn good!! We subbed!! You rock!!

[Rene02021972]

great guitar work!!

[moneyquickeasy]

You, sir, should be uber-famous.

[chudnovsky]

@moneyquickeasy thanks :)))

[jtothedubya]

Awesome

[llanbradach]

Brilliant playing great tune.

[turtlezap7]

im in love

[RectalDiscourse]

one of my favorites, love it brother :D keep playing <3

[Oliy92466]

Очень красивая и душевная мелодия!!! Замечательное исполнение!!!

5*****

[CrazyToastie]

I nearly tore my tendon in half trying to perform that 5th fret to 10th fret stretch. I have big hands, too.

It's impossible. How do you do it?

D=

[urmomandad]

@CrazyToastie I could make a suggestion, that note stumped me for awhile (this was the first song I learned on guitar). Instead of reaching from the 10th to the 5th on the 6th string, play the 10 and an open 5th string..it sounds the same. Goes back to the whole "5 fret rule".

[sanctumovdarkness]

Practice.

[slayergone]

wonderful!! like my video man

[AnotherJess]

you should make a website with all your tabs because it seems alot of ppl want them

[angieximena13]

simplemente lindo yo amo las guitarras la musica

[miTiay8787]

А есть где нибудь ноты? оч красиво...

ну или хотябы полное название узнать)

[Slash417]

this is played in 3/4 right?

[chudnovsky]

@Slash417 I think so :-)

[Slash417]

Is there a place I can get the tabs for your songs, other than this one?

[roenie1]

@chudnovsky Correct. Take it from a drummer. ;-)

[roenie1]

@roenie1 was referring to 3/4

[EvieHippie]

@Slash417 I think It's 6/8? But I'm not a genius or anything.

[OnkelMickwald]

@Slash417 Feels more like 6/8 if you ask me.

[gblaney]

Wonderful folk sound with some fascinating twists and turns. Excellent technique.

[chudnovsky]

@gblaney thanks very much :)

[discordantconsonance]

this is amazing man.

[chudnovsky]

@discordantconsonance thanks :-))

[LaggardInLove]

Beautiful :)

[2thfloor]

great pease of art!

[badboyplayerxxx]

i like this realy :)

[MickCorgi]

You have amazingly long fingers... guitar version Rakhmaninov...

[JulinhodeAdelaide]

Hey Alex, that's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever seen for guitar...so touching as "spanish romance"... Since I can play it I'll spread it to everyone :)

I just think the sequence in 0:45 sounds like blues, contrasting with the sober classic feeling of this music...But the creation process is free and you've done a great job...It's just my humble opinion.

Best Regards from Brazil.

[chudnovsky]

@JulinhodeAdelaide Thanks so much for the nice words and feedback :))

Cheers,

Alex

[JohnnyDeppigX]

like it

[ballsy506]

I've almost got this song down pretty well. I must say you're a great composer and guitar player. Keep it up!

[burninghollow]

this is not normal tuning ..

what tuning is it played in ??

[haikusa]

@burninghollow

i have the score, it's a standard tuning EADGBE.

[33GeAr33]

this is awesome. so much emotion.

i would love tabs for this!

[CONNERY1963]

Beautiful!

[N1tr0bunny]

This is the song i'm choosing for the talent show i wanna play in, any tips for a wannabe song writer?

oh, and it's kind of funny, when i saw this song, i figured it was like a few hundred years old. it's cool playing something by someone who's still alive ;)

[chudnovsky]

wow.. bro, that's awesome!! :)) ..

Some tips.... its all about emotion, when writing don't think too much of what your are doing or playing just think of the emotion that your trying to express.. hope that helps a little bit..

heh... yeah, thanks bro.. it's a nice compliment :-))

Cheers,

Alex

[N1tr0bunny]

my guitar teacher gave me this piece to learn, beautiful song.

[chudnovsky]

Thanks man, say hi to your guitar teacher from me :-)))

Cheers,

Alex

[dservetn]

[chudnovsky]

not sure about video lessons, but i will start giving lessons over skype soon :-)

[theflood99]

Hey Alex, been a fan for a while now, and just wondering out of curiosity, if you could come up with a recording of the same song with twice or threes times the timing.

[chudnovsky]

you mean like play it three times as fast : )?

[theflood99]

Definitely!

[Aigulka03]

simple and beautiful. All it needs is an heartwarming lyrics :)
