I saw a street musician today playing complex Spanish guitar (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) perfectly . . .?
. . . how can such talent be out on the street? I guess this should be in the “philosophy” category. Not that I’m expecting any big dissertations or anything. He heh.
My point is I actually recognized the piece. I thought that was pretty obvious. My question, however, do we as a society ignore culture and art at our own peril? Geez, do I have to spell everything out?
I wish I could have been there. I’ve seen “raw” talent and wondered why and how they got to that point. Then I wished I could have been in their shoes.
I keep thinking (and hoping) the best is yet to be found like they have before…Willy, Folgerberg, etc., etc….
To answer your question, I guess it takes a special ear and eye to catch the obvious within musicians. It seems obvious to some but to others it isn’t that way.
Please enjoy your gift and talent and try not to become too dismayed.
There are people (like me) out there that truly appreciate and enjoy it so much.

Art of Segovia $10.68 DG has put together a fascinating compilation of Segovia’s art that reminds us what a protean figure he was. Segovia single-handedly put the instrument on the map by making classical guitar concerts popular events, broadening the instrument’s repertory through commissions and transcriptions, and convincing even doubters that it could be a vehicle for serious music. He’s heard here in brief pieces … |
