Agustin Barrios: La Catedral, III. Allegro solemne (piano cover)

I tried to play the original guitar version without any significant rendition on my electric piano. It is obviously faster than "allegro".... Never mind, I felt happy playing it :-)

Pictures were mainly taken by my son in Belgium, partly linked from royalty free pictures.

it sounds sort of mish-mashy try slowing down a bit in the beginning

[Liraxtime]

@pixiechick159 Yeah, you are right. I played more slowly on a "real" piano.

my favorite composition ever, interesting to hear it on a piano, i'd love to be able to play it someday on any instrument!

[Liraxtime]

@papavb  Guitar, of course, would be the perfect choice.

[papavb]

@Liraxtime yeah, i'm a hopelessly novice to the world of instruments i'll take anything, but yeah it'd be fantastic to know it on the guitar. practice lots right? lol

@papavb Classic guitar looks difficult to play... (I gave up in 2 weeks when I was 14-years old.) I have just uploaded 1st movement of La Catedral, played on lyre. I hope you would like it, too.

LOL, this is prestissimo.

@Liraxtime

It is not a matter of choice...the piece was written by one of the greatest (for some, *the* greatest) composers for guitar and guitar virtuoso: Agustin Barrios ("Mangore"). Look at your right and click on Spaniard Narciso Yepes, Paraguayan (as Barrios himself) guitar masters such Luz Maria Bobadilla, Berta Rojas, try the "Che Trio" (three Argentinian jazz guitar players) and from the CD "Barrios Hoy", by Luz on guitar and arranged and orchestrated by yours truly.

You have to feel the music. It's nice that you are trying, but you are rushing it way too much. Just let the melody flow naturally, i sugest studing how to read musical notes. The intervals and note length are totally messed up
