@codonauta While I sort of agree with you, what exactly can be done in a fast passage to stop this string noise? You need to keep your fingers on the strings when you slide to different frets; it is impossible to lift your fingers before moving them without making even worse noises. I suppose there are subtle ways of reducing the friction, but even for a master like Bream I think a fair bit of noise is acceptable in some cases.
@PrivateBuckwheat No. If you here the guitar school of Abel Carlevaro, for example, you don´t hear any noise. You just have to up and down the fingers in the left hand in each translation of them. It is more difficult and hard-working but it is possible. Take a serach in YTube in Abel carlevaro and listen to him playing. There is no noise. By the way, with noise or without noise, J Bream is one of my favorite guitar players, if not THE my favorite.
@PrivateBuckwheat It seems there is no video with Abel Carlevaro playing the Prelude 4, but do a search in "abelcarlevaro Estudio Nº 6" - and observe that there is no any noise. The 2 works are similar in the translation of the entire chords along the strings. It just depends of the technique of playing avoiding noises. Carlevaro paid a lot of attention in this detail.
@codonauta Ahhhh you seem to be quite right about Carlevaro. I noticed that he has papers for a masterclass on Villa Lobos preludes. Reading through that, he does seem to talk in detail about avoiding noise by lifting the arm and hand slightly. It seems to me that the technique becomes more and more difficult while speed increases. I wonder how quickly Carlevaro would have played the Animato section. Shame I can't find a recording.
The noise caused for his left hand in friction to the strings is too much in the middle of the piece.
