Per-Olov Kindgren plays "Why"

[reyrosa25]

Beautiful song. Congratulations again Per-Olv. Great guitar player. Mi admiración para ti!

[allasuger1kuk]

Wow i heard this song yesterday and i bought it from you today :-) a real masterpiece :-) by the way im from finland and play guitar with a former colleague of yours Vesa Kuokkanen u know him? i hope to be as good as you guys some day :-)

[turidk4]

Thank you for answering. Now I have found it and have started to learn it. A very nice pice to play.

[turidk4]

Hello! Thank you for this beautiful music. I want to buy the sheet but can not find it on your website. I searched under W, but it was not there. Perhaps I was on the wrong place? Would be glad to receive an answer.

[AndanteLargo]

Hello!

Thank you. If you look under Per-Olov Kindgren Original compositions and then W, you will find it at the bottom of page 2.

I hope you will find it.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[catanlorca]

As always.... fantastic.

Your music moves me, because it is so heavenly and pure.

Who is in your class?.... nobody.

All the best from Germany and god bless you.

[slaventitas]

Verry nice music! It`s Russian romance

[makisaito1983]

Very Nice! I can almost feel the sad and lonely feelings you must have had, muy bien!

[91etude]

this piece really sad.....

once I listen to it I got a feeling of being left by someone dear....

or is it just my own feeling....

[ClassicalString]

Per-Olov, I love all your music but this is one of my favourites. I hope you don't mind but I have played it as part of the soundtrack of a video of my UK garden (video response). I think I play it rather too fast! The other piece is Senhorinha by Guinga, a lovely easy piece. Check it out if you get chance I would love to hear you play it.

Steve

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Steve,

Thank you. I will look at your video after replying...

I cannot promise I will post Senhorinha... but, who knows.

Per-Olov

[peterbek]

verry nice music!

i have bought this work and i miss you and Otra Copa de Vino in tab format

now i have to spend allot of time to excersize ;-)

and bring up my begiiner notes lessons back in my head in stead of only tabs.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! Thanks for listening to me and also for ordering my music and playing it. I hope you have fun!

Please keep playing!

it's the best!

Per-Olov

[papitsch]

true master

[jaimehernandezg]

I am not quite a sad person, although I must admit the natural melancholy that we all posess form time to time. I had never listened to you before today and I must declare that your "why" sounds quite like my own soul. It is the kind of melody I would like to compose myself . Thanks for having it posted. Is there a place where I can find a TAB or a score?

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Jamie,

Thank you for listening to me. I am happy I could touch your soul.

I have all my compositions as tab or sheet music on my web shop.

Please visit

per-olovkindgren. com

All he best and Stay Happy! :-)

Per-Olov

[Kindgrensno1fan]

"Why" grasped the true essence of where I currently am and what I have been feeling. This musical piece settles in the heart of my melancholy coupled by a certain sense of peace. What a lovely piece! I'm sad but in a sense, it is sadness unlike how others might perceive it - lonely and yet content. It is hard to state what it is, but thank you so much for this piece!

[JensHausmann]

This is my all time Per-Olov Kindgren favorite here and on the CD as well, it reminds me a bit of 'Um Dia De Noviembre' well, take it as a compliment,

Have a great day

Jens

[CBR133T]

im a naturaly happy, and outgoing person, but i LOVE gloomy music like this.

when i'm alone listening tothings like this, it makes me think about things. (not neceserely sad)

[TheSnowfire55]

This is so beautiful. It makes me weep!

[vintervredets]

Oooh, so haunting. I picture you playing this in a dimly- lit chamber of some long- forgotten castle.

[AdamRM84]

I can definitely see that. Seems sad huh?

[djpoppyt]

.....That is why I subscribed to your channel. Beautiful........5/5 Thanks for posting.

[evantrinh]

Hi Peo! long time no talk.. lol I hope everything is good with you master. Is this beautiful piece available on ur website? I cant seem to find it... thanx in advance.....

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there my friend! Yes, long time - no see. I hope you are well.

Yes, it's there! Please go to plage 28 under my original compositions. There you can select it with or without TABs.

I hope you find it. If not mail me again.

Keep well,

Per-Olov

[doner6961]

at the age of 47,and having heard all the greats of classical guitar,,segovia [the best] bream and williams,lots of others too.per-olov seems to transend them all with his clarity and expression of voicing the guitar. superb.

[Millrider]

This is really great and a great piece. I love how you put the music first, instead och focusing mostly on technique. That is the way I like it. Your technique is very good though, clean and dynamic. Will keep checking out your videos.:)

[shehan123]

you are one of the best guitarists i have ever heard and you are my favorite. please continue your beautiful and amzing work. regards, Shehan

[robicool]

the beauty that can come from sadness and love, words cannot describe

[SibiriaseemsCold]

[przecier77]

You are amazing. Good job Mr. Kindgren.

I would like to play like you, but I haven't quitar:D

[DRDeuce4456]

Is there a tab for this?

[AndanteLargo]

Hi! Yes there is. If you go to my web shop at

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[DRDeuce4456]

Thanks Alot! I will definitely look into this tomorrow morning. I'm really liking your music. I'm looking into learning more Classical and Neo-Classical pieces. You are now one of my new favorite artist!

[mustasch4life]

This is probably one of the nicest pieces of music I have ever heard. Splendid work, so emotional.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there. Thank you! I am happy you like it. I was very sad when I composed this. I am not anymore... :-)

Kindly,

Per-Olov

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[Rainmanontour]

hey peo..

the fact that a deep feeling was the trigger for writing this song makes it really true, bro. Man, I enjoy this song so much.

Thats the thing about good music, it appears to be sad and happy at the same time so you feel pulled out of time.

rainman.

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Rainman,

Thank you. That is a good description for good, felt music! I'm honored!

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[rotory2002]

Kind regards,

[nonexponential]

Yes, I can feel the sadness emanating from

this music. One couldn't express it better.

It is brave of you to play and publish this

piece since it is so personal and sensitive.

- Athan

[AndanteLargo]

Yes, I was very sad then... I am honored you can feel it.

Thanks my friend!

Per

[lunalunanueva]

Because the wind is high it blows my mind...

[AndanteLargo]

Because the world is round it turns me on...

[flimflam0069]

Wow, completely professional, and I love that it wasn't just educated and experienced improvisation-sounding. I could really hear the melody and focus. I really enjoyed that.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! I am honored by your kind words. When I made this I was very sad and this helped a lot. I'm happy again!! :-)

Kindly,

[jaja5354]

Dear Peo,

All I can say is wow! :)

- Jaja (Malaysia)

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot! I am honoured you like my music!

Kind regards,

Peo

[ooooDanieloooo]

Havde jeg en 10-del af dit enorme talent, ville jeg bruge det som den fantastiske udtryksform det er. Intet som tonerne fra en guitar, kan udtrykke sorg og frustrationer så smukt og hjerteskærende. Man fanger sig selv i at lave ansigtsmemik der følger tonernes gang. Alt godt til dig fremover.

[AndanteLargo]

Tak Daniel! Jeg er glad for dine venlige ord! Jeg håber du lytter videre!

Hilsen,

Peo

[Rexicano]

Wow, very nice. Much better than that Tears in Heaven and Recuerdos or any other tremelo piece done to death. Very real and honest emotion coming from the feel of this piece. I love understated music.

[AndanteLargo]

Well, well. You are listening to "old" me! Thanks a lot! Appreciated! Really.

Kind regards,

Peo

[Rexicano]

Well, I was alot better playing Classical 20 years ago. I didn't know it at the time but I listen to old tapes and sigh. I guess I like pieces that go right up to the edge of corniness...a fine line sometimes. I started to write music a few years ago when I didn't want to deal with copyright permissions and have not looked back unless I get paid to play weedings, tec. where it's against the Law to Not play certain things. Ha.

[Jive51]

Yes, indeed, very sad song!!!

I feel your own feelings, I look at your poor broken heart, not understanding why such a sad day happened...

But life goes on, and our crying days are kept in the hands of some angel, here or there... Nothing is lost, nothing is purely destroyed, but all is transformed. And we are the result of a huge amount of sadness, melted with days of pure joy.

Yeah, that's our life, poor humans!!!

[AndanteLargo]

Jean you are a God with words. And a very intelligent and sensitive man too! I think you have a lot of feelings and experience in you life to fill a whole novel. Am I right? You are a wise man. And I think I have found that Angel. I hope and think you have too!

Friendly,

Peo

[Jive51]

... wise man... "The Force to find you will be able, wisdom to keep you will have"...

Sensitive, I am. Experience, I have. A novel writing I can. My Angel to find I have... Words a body for ideas are, nothing more, apart the right word, full of Live, able to move a mountain. Searching the living word I am.

Fraternally.

Jean

[acoustic2rock]

you are a real great guitarist you know how to put your feelings in your own songs that is the most beautiful thing a guitarist can do in m eyes

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you acoustic2rock. Very kind said. I tihnk it's what music is about: expressing yourself. My computer can play "music" too but it's without a story...

Thanks!

Kindly,

Peo

[georgegeng]

Couldn't hold my tears on this one...not written by hand, not played on guitar, it is coming from the heart..

This one and "I dream of you" are my favorites, so far.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! I'm moved by your words. And, yes, it's from thw heart...

Kindly,

Peo

[lunalunanueva]

Maybe you didn't listen carefully.

That it why you didn't know.

[lunalunanueva]

Oh! I have a typo on my comment... it = is

It is very easy not to understand the reasons why things happen to us at the exact moment they occur. However, later, we "kind of" get the reasons why those things happened and we learn to listen carefully. Long process, sometimes. Good thing...

time is so flexible :)

btw, very nice composition!

[jaideepbarve]

VERY NICE ! keep up the good work Peo

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks. I will!

Kindly,

Peo

[Tony721]

Bravo Peo. Your work never fails to inspire me as a musician.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks Tony. I'm glad you still listen.

Kindly,

Peo

[duitar]

Peo, do you have a CD for sale ? Your website doesn't seem to offer, although it's a mix of English and Danish (i think).. so maybe I missed it.

[AndanteLargo]

HEHE! No, not yet. I'm planning on recording one this summer. And maybe make a site where mp3's can be downloded. We'll see...

Thank you for your interrest.

Peo

[Ibuki1961]

Thanks Peo, I`ll put this beautiful song in my favorite list. Your talent is a great gift for all of us. Ingo

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you for listening and commenting Ingo! I'm very glad you like it!

Kind regards,

Peo

[musxlvr2]

My boyfriend calls this "wallowing music". He says when I am sad, I am so sad I wallow. :) It's just that I live and feel all my emotions so fully. I can tell you did the same when you wrote this. Your emotions and feelings come out quite clearly in all you play.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks... Amy? LOL Wallow... great word. Well, I think I wallowed? when I wrote this. I use my guitar to express my feelings. And I'm greatful people can relate to that when I play. Take care and greetings to your boyfriend!

Kindly,

Peo

[musxlvr2]

Yes, thats me. Amy :)

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Amy! Nice to meet you! LOL

Thank you for all your kind words. I don't deserve it but I suck it to me as a thirsty man in a desert. :)

Kind regards,

Peo

[musxlvr2]

Everyone needs "strokes". You deserve the adulations, believe me. Such beauty coming across your instrument. We appreciate your sharing yourself with us. Please don't stop.

[Benfrist]

wow thats really good where can I get the sheet music?

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks. Read the video info to the right.

Sheet music can be purchased at:

editionglobal dot com (search for "kindgren")

Thanks!

Peo

[sch99]

Absolutly lovely! Reminds me much of schindlers list as well as a hint of the godfather. Keep up the great work!

[IndiGenus63]

OK Peo, I'm on my way over to download the sheet music on this one too...wonderful.

Dave

[AndanteLargo]

LOL!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Good luck with it!

Peo

[gegrant]

Therapy for the troubled soul and tranquility for busy minds. Your songs are meditation to the heart. It very calming.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! I am happy you like my compositions!

Kind regards,

Peo

[meandtaco]

A very lovely composition and beautifully played. Lots of heart!

[WilleH1]

very... sad. I like sad songs. One of the best so far.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! Then I succeeded! I wanted all to feel the sadness...

Peo

[Melfriendof]

It's lovely, as always. Those moments of sadness are in fact 'opportunities' for a brilliant artist to give us the best of his music -But please don't be sad more than a few minutes. Just think of us...your devoted and loyal fans :))

Look forward to more of your lovely, antrancing music.

BTW I got your 2 messages but could not send my reply to you just now.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Mel,

Thanks. Nice comment. I'm honoured. I couldn't answer your message :-(

Peo

[geraberl]

Oustanding, youve managed to create a sound to fill Carnegie Hall in your living room! Exquisite playing, thank you sir.

[guitarra8a]

Dear Mr. Kindgren, what I admire about your compositions and playing is the simplicity. Like in nature, it is the simple things that are the most beautiful. Your composition "Why" reminds me of a fine misty morning rain in early spring in the Umbrian countryside.

I look forward in purchasing your compositions.

Please continue sharing your brilliant music.

guitarra8

[AndanteLargo]

Well... what can I say? Very kind words and I'm really humbly honored. I love Umbria so you couldn't have said it better!

Thanks!!

Yours,

Peo

[buddybear]

Very Beautiful!

[BillPofWV]

Peo. You have the ability to make simple songs very nice.  The clarity of the notes, the unhurried phrasing, always with that singing quality. I commend you. Thank you. Bill.

[alwaysdreams]

very sensitive and beautiful.

[AndanteLargo]

Dear alwaysdrems :-)

Well... It means a lot to me you like it!

Kindly,

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Dilara.

I tried to send you a message. Youtube doesn't let me!? I'm very frustrated! Can/will you send me a message I can reply to... please...

Peo

[elTomatos]

very good work

[PolaScalzo]

beautiful!

[koseikubota]

I have got a new speakers for my PC and your guitar sound even more beautiful than ever!!

[sosauto]

Thanks YouTube - for giving all of us the opportunity to hear Peo Kindgren's wonderfully soothing and mellow classical guitar stylings, but could you please fix the message system so we can tell him so? - hehe

-john

[AndanteLargo]

Hi John,

Thanks! I have sent you a message. I hope t works now.

I'll be in touch!

Peo

[fhfabio]

Beautiful... and sad!

[Oldhand1]

As always, consummate skill combined with intrepretive depth...students of classic guitar should take note: the music is the message not the technique...expression is everything...check out Peo's renditon of Dowland's Lachrimae Pavan...the finest interpretation of this piece ever recorded, IMHO.

[svindland]

I agree... I'm stuck to the screen trying to learn from his magnificent performances:) He projects the essence of classical guitar- Beauty and melancholy

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Arne,

Thank you. Jeg bukker i støvet af en sådan kommentar fra en så god guitarist som dig!

Peo

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks Oldhand1! Really appreciated!

Peo

[onuryazgan]

Sorrowing!!!

[KrisShred]

Excellent Peo. Very sad and beautiful. Passionate

[ruudopjoetjoeb]
