@aloharosa Is writen the sheet music, "Poco Animato" on the first part, and not "Piu Animato"!

@eirinikos Of course Williams sucks, that's why everybody's buying your recordings!

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

@MeckelBot

Your comment says far more about you than about either me or maestro Williams. LOL!!

john williams is a good guitarist but in my opinion as he grew older he started ruining more songs just by playing them way too fast. if this is the "rebirth" then why so fast? it should sound the way the composer wanted it

[archegui]

too fast for me.. but john williams rules.

@matonmarshall far too many guitarists read "emotion" and "expression" as "rubato" and "picking hand so far up it's above the frets". playing it at this tempo makes the subtleties in the rhythm, where it slips between 3/4 and 6/8, more noticable. plenty of south american waltzes use this technique to give the rhythm a more jittery feel which can be lost when it's slowed down

@woodencardboard

I just sang it with the score. I'm almost sure, that Villa-Lobos had my kind of phrasing in mind.

And that would be a swinging/singing melodic one, which goes even more than over one bar. But John Williams, he scrambles it even in half bars, this is what I really hate in those kinds of interpretation of the Prelude 5.

(Btw I admire most of John Williams' recordings)

[woodencardboard]

@FHgitarre Technically, I think the difference between 6/4 and 3/4 was that although each third beat is accented (ONE two three; ONE two three FOUR five six), in 6/4 the first beat of every measure is accented more than the fourth beat. So, ONE two three Four five six, or something like that. Imagine the difference between 3/8 and 6/8. Given Villa-Lobos, however, he was probably just doing whatever he wanted, as he always does.

holyshit. he is the finest guitarist in his generation, no doubt about it.
