I really love Karin's playing. I think that she is certainly one of the finest guitarists in the world.

@idalgleish87 "...her husband Giac transcribed it for classical guitar, for her to play on her 'Dreams' album." Google: Schaupp Mascagni Intermezzo arranged site:delcamp.us

Does anyone know if you can purchase the Sheet music anywhere.

[Amotaxe]

A beautiful blue lake of music and art where hands turn into swans, and the beauty and the guitar an only one princess

[PaulModaley]

I love this arrangement of a beautiful piece of music. Please can someone tell me where I can find the score for this? I would very much like to learn this piece :)

mozzrt quotes: "but if 99% of all real musiclovers avoid listening to guitar"

-------------------------

This comment must rank as one of the most ignorant, self-serving and - quite franky - "made up" pieces of pseud music argument I have ever read.

Do you just make things up to try and win an argument?

And the worn out criticism that the "great" composers bypassed the instrument is rather specious. Should Bach only be played on authentic instruments? The Chaconne on guitar is superb. jeez...

[colski33]

Dear Karin. I love your playing, always have, it touchers my soul like no other guitarist anywhere. Great to see Giac acting with you there. hey we too had a baby....blessings karol

[rodericksibelius]

H E A V E N L Y G O D G I V E N MUSIC:

Please view also this PIECE played by a Japanese Symphony Orchestra for your listening pleasure...

[Deerse]

Beautifull played , with so much heart .

And although she is beautifull as well , with closed eyes I still feel her intention .

[AlvarWolff]

Wonderful...and she is beautiful

[DonDaugbjerg]

I hate it, when women are better than me at playing guitar :O

[BobWebbmusic]

If I could give Karin 10 stars. I would. Her rendition of Masagni,s intermemezzo is warm and heart felt, not to mention technically brilliant. All the best Karin

Don't count me in!

[19olivier72]

My favourite music plays by a beautiful, talented and sensitive young woman with a romantic set behind....waouh! Am I dream...? Very very good job. Thanks so much

[mozzrt]

This should not be played by guitar. Anyway all classical composers stayed away from guitar. Small wonder, liking guitar is a sign that you do not understand classical music.

[craigalake]

(2/2)Here is a short list of a few of the many "Classical" composers that played and/or wrote for the guitar. Paganini (who played the guitar as well as he played violin by some reports and wrote over 200 works for solo guitar), Britten, Walton, Bach (Lute not guitar but his lute suites are staple diet for guitarists), Sor, Rodrigo, Turina, Berlioz, Schubert, Bocherini, Villa Lobos, Tedesco, Diabelli, and many, many more...

[mozzrt]

Perhaps they had to, they had to earn money, I mean Bach and Schubert. Who cares about Villa Lobos, Rodrigo etc. Where are the big ones? Guitar is almost never played, small wonder.

[craigalake]

Who are the big ones? Did you not read the Beethoven and Chopin quotes?Berlioz, Paganini and Schubert played for their own enjoyment. Whats your musical background (aside from not being able to spell Mozart)?

[mozzrt]

When did I not spell Mozart right? Beethoven quote was probably just courtesy, judge him by his actions instead, How much did he write for guitar? Mozart? Wagner? Verdi? Puccini? Brahms? Chopin? Bruckner? Schumann? Schoenberg? How MUCH did Schubert write?

Why not use guitar in their orchestras and operas all the time? What has musical understanding to do with ones background? Do you think you can 'learn' to love classical music? Try to teach your poplistening friends to love Bach...

[craigalake]

Your "musical" background has everything to do with your musical opinion. Beethoven was not known for courtesy or not speaking his mind, in fact, the opposite is true and you have avoided the chopin quote conveniently. The lute and baroque guitar was a standard part of the continuo section in nearly every orchestra up to the end of the baroque.

[GUITARVIDEOTRADER]

From the Harvard dictionary of music, (not an exact quote) "The music written for early fretted string instruments is second in quality and quantity only to the vast body of music for organ".

[GUITARVIDEOTRADER]

The guitar actually had a remarkable presence in the inner circles of the Classical Era.

Boccherini wrote his guitar quintets, Schubert often wrote first drafts of his songs on the guitar, Haydn and Schubert both arranged chamber works for the guitar, Paganini played and wrote for the guitar, as did Berlioz (the greatest of French composers), Diabelli (Beethoven's publisher) was a guitarist and wrote full scale sonatas for instrument and Sor, Mertz, Giuliani, and others were touring virtuosos.

[GUITARVIDEOTRADER]

Around the beginnig of he 20th century the old, arbitrary rules regulating harmony broke down and composers were freed of the straight jacket that had rendered them incapable of writing for solo guitar.

Composers now had a new interest in fully exploiting the resoures of an instrument.

At same time, the microphone was developed, and wih it, records, radio, television, etc. Music was now moving back into small listening quarters: the home.

The stage was set for a revival of the guitar.

[GUITARVIDEOTRADER]

The man of the hour in the revival of the guitar was, of course, Andres Segovia, followed by thousands of other talented musicians. This movement has both reclaimed the instrument's past and moved into the future, with transcriptions of old works and comissions of new works.

As for Mozart's remark-well, his hatred of the flute is well known, too. He also wrote that all Italian musicians are charlatans.

So what should such remarks mean to the music world today? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

[smoothflamenco]

@mozzrt Let me quote Chopin to you "Nothing is more beautiful than the sound of the guitar". F. Chopin.

Now let's see you explain that one away!

[craigalake]

It is fine to say you don't like guitar, but if you understood the nature of these kinds of arguments, you would realize this is just a personal point of view and can never be an absolute truth. I am just merely pointing out the error in your statement that no classical composers wrote for guitar. There are far greater musicians than you or I that love and wrote for the guitar. There are many that didn't also.

[mozzrt]

You are avoiding the issue. 'Up to the end of baroque'. Why did it end there then? Guitar - and mouthorgan, and saxophone - are instruments that real musiclovers avoid. Chopin may have said something - he certainly said much more about everything else - but none of the greats wrote a guitar concerto, nor did he.

'Absoluthe truth' no, but if 99% of all real musiclovers avoid listening to guitar, then it means something. Anyway this piece was written for orchestra as you very well know.

[craigalake]

1/3. I am not avoiding any issues. Some would argue that western music reached it's pinnacle pre 1750. Galalei and Caccini were among the most significant musicians in the history of music, and they were lutenists. They were central figures in the Florentine Camerata (I have no doubts you have heard of them) and were responsible for the emergance of "baroque" music and opera.

[craigalake]

2/3. Their (Caccini and Galalei) ideas on the expression of affect in music is central to all western music that followed, including the late romantic Germans and Italians that you are obviously so fond of.

[craigalake]

3/3. You are conveniently choosing only to quote composers between 1750 and 1920, a relatively short period in the history of western music. Plucked strings DID fall out of favour during this period due to the development of the romantic orchestra and it's size and the emergence of the piano and its virtuosic and harmonic possibilities. Renaissance lute song and baroque monody are amongst the highest forms of western art music and the priciple accompanying instrument was the lute.

[craigalake]

FINAL WORD. IF 99% of REAL music lovers avoided listening to guitar I would agree with you, however, you are, for the sake of your argument, defining REAL music according to your own musical taste. Music is a great and varied thing. I don't like all forms of music. I don't like listening to late romantic opera but I recognise its importance and value as an art form. I pity your narrow minded euro-centric perspective. You are an ignorant fool. Good bye.

[mozzrt]

If you really thought i was an ignorant fool, I doubt that you'd spend time and energy inn finding arguments to contradict me. Late romantic opera is certainly worth listening to, as is Palestrina. Rock 'music' isn't music at all, but ppl who don't understand music like it so wtf.

Serious music reached it's highest peak in Mozart. But Bach and Beethoven are certainly not far behind. Playing K465 on electric guitars is heresy, as is this guitar version of a piece not written for guitar.

[GUITARVIDEOTRADER]

Wherever secular music was presented in small quarters, plucked, fretted string instruments have tended to find a prominent position. This applies to the courts of European Royality as well as Japanese culture, Indian culture, Arabic, etc.

[GUITARVIDEOTRADER]

For thise interested, please read the comments of "mozzrt" first, then read my postings from last to first.

[craigalake]

Well put, everything I wanted to say but I grew tired of the argument.

[GUITARVIDEOTRADER]

So long as classical instrumentalists played their own compositions, the guitar and other fretted instruments held their place in the art music traditions of the world.

When music reached the point that specialist musicians were expected to play the music written by specialist composers - a few of them great and many more insignificant and forgotten-then guitar left the scene.

Why? Because composers who did not know the guitar from the inside were incapable of effectivly writing for it.

[deealimi]

nice...

[BobAcoustic]

A mighty sweet sound!

[elitita]

Great!!!!

Bravo

Cesar Amaro

[docdoc]

Really wonderful... at first I thought her guitar was a romanillos but then I sad the bridge! anyone know who the luthier is? anyway though, I'd like to hear more from her.

[craigalake]

Australian maker Simon Marty. I have one myself. Have a look at my vids. This one is spruce but she used to play a cedar.

Karin makes beautiful recordings but I was a little dissapointed when I saw her play live (I shouldn't judge on one performance I guess and maybe it was just a bad day).

[nacnud83]

Karin plays a guitar made by the Sydney-based luthier, Simon Marty.

[Axehopper]

What extraordinary playing!

[NixonMcvicar]

Absolutely sublime... thank you ... xxx

[daffydoug]

Gorgeous!

[Thm46]

Some of the best playing on planet Earth. She plays more fat notes, in one song, than I've played in my life.

I would also sell my kids to the Turks for the tremelo she has!

An astonishing artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jameslovesruby]

Amazing! She's beautiful, talented, and just wonderful! Question.... who's rowing the boat?

[AldoGodolfus]

Interesting question JLR. I'd say the rower is either Sally Robbins or Raisin Loaf of the Bakery, Leo McKern. No charge this time for the info.

[YSBCITTAR]

Karen Schaupp & Ana Vidovic, Goddesses of Guitar indeed.

[RomanCoronado]

She is an amazing guitarist. I'm a little disturbed that this is the only Karin Schaupp videos on youtube. She is truly one of the best female classical guitarists if not the best female classical guitarist out there (imo she is the best).

[osend]

eeei karin.. yo te vi en cuernavaca.... me encantas..

[sandraprecko]

very nice :)

[AldoGodolfus]

Hi it's me, Aldo again, well me, Aldo, again ,not Aldo again. (...Aldo nuovamente, e me, Aldo, ancora una volta, non Aldo nuovamente.) I love it but my wife, Roma, says it sound nothing like the banana boat song and she also asks what is the Rodney Adler lookalike doing in the movie?

[AldoGodolfus]

Beautifully played - fantastic musician. Now, I don't mean any disrespect, but surely Ms Schaupp is the most truly scrumptious guitarist (to borrow from Chitty Chitty B B) to ever pluck a string.

[SACALOROCH]
