I knew him as a great Lute player, yet he's incredible as a barock guitar player, too!

Time traveler. I met him back in the early eighties in Rochester NY.

that is interesting indeed, I never thought of it that way, that the early music has the seeds of later evolutions. I still hear flamenco at 3:35 though, but it is the phrases that 'feel' that way.

@apazeia its not flamenco, thats a style of music associated with the spanish dance. this is... baroque guitar music which predates both classical guitar and flamenco, pretty sure these actually existed during the baroque era and eventually evolved into romantic guitar, then the spanish varieties we see today.

although some techniques used in classical, flamenco and baroque are pretty much the same... except you use your pinky in flamenco...

[apazeia]

I would have NEVER thought this was the music that was gonna be played. I was waiting for some delicate Baroque masterpiece, and WOW, blown away full flamenco... masterpiece indeed!

More sheet music to find, more music to learn, not enough years in this lifetime...
