This piano flamenco technique exercise is clearly notated example of the 12 beat compas or rhythm, is set in all 12 keys. A technique training basic and is a must for any pianist learning about Spanish and flamenco music in general. .

New apoyando/picado exercises that I hope it will be interesting to play. Sincerely speaking, I don't like exercises because they are mostly for technique and there is no music. I wanted to create exercises that would be interesting for me, the musical exercises. I am satisfied with this work - now I have more good exercises for myself and I share it with you. Each exercise is made like a cycle. You can practice some important technique elements - left hand transitions that are common in flamenco guitar music, with p/h/glissando. These patterns are also useful as guitar licks for flamenco fusion improvisation. Enjoy!

Bambino prodigioe instancabile viaggiatore, la sua opera � impregnata dei colori e dei saporidella Spagna, paese che ha amato profondamente per tutta la vita. L?influenzadel Flamenco � accertata: Alb�niz era un habitu� delle taverne dove si cantavae suonava questo genere. ASTURIAS, ispirato dalla Grana�na (stile flamenco di Granada) � uno di quei brani che ha superato i confinidella musica prettamente classica, raggiungendo un pubblico planetario.

Questatrascrizione, pur conservando alcune idee geniali di Andr�s Segovia (latonalit� di Mi minore, le terzine a partire dalla terza frase, gli armonicinella sezione centrale), presenta una scrittura chitarristica pi� precisa, curatanei minimi particolari e una maggiore coerenza con l?originale. Diteggiature esoluzioni nuove per la mano sinistra danno vita a una partitura fresca, riccadi sonorit� inedite.

Isaac Alb�niz (1860 - 1909) is, without doubt, the truefounder of modern Spanish music.

Child prodigy and tireless traveler, his works are full of colorsand flavors of Spain, a country he has deeply loved all his life. The influenceof Flamenco is proven: Alb�niz was a regular in taverns where this genre wassung and played. ASTURIAS, inspired by the Grana�na(flamenco style of Granada) is one of those pieces that went beyond theboundaries of purely classical music, reaching a global audience.

This transcription, while retaining some brilliant ideas ofAndr�s Segovia (the key of E minor, the triplets starting from the third phrase,the harmonics in the central section), presents a more precise guitar writing,with attention to the smallest details and greater coherence with the original.New fingerings and solutions for the left hand give life to a fresh score, fullof new sounds.

The Spanish guitarist Narciso Yepes (1927-1997) was one of the great masters of his instrument and was regarded as the greatest guitarist of Spain, apart from Andr�.s Segovia and Emilio Pujol. Pupil of Vicente Asensio, he had a strong connection with the flamenco. in 1947, Yepes made the breakthrough with the performance of Joaqu�.n Rodrigo's 'Concierto de Aranjuez'. As a composer, Yepes was internationally recognised because of his film music of 'Jeux interdits' (Ren�. Cl�.ment, 1952). Yepes added numerous transcriptions to the repertoire of the acoustic guitar. The newly compiled anthology contains the most beautiful pieces from the repertoire of this brilliant virtuoso.

Composed in 2010. This was my first composition that was made out of flamenco style. Made as a study, primarily for my students who like fingerstyle guitar music. Then this composition became too long to be a study and I started to play it in the converts myself. Now I share it, notes and tabs together. Enjoy!

Cardas is a folk dance played by Gypsies particularly in Eastern Europe. There are many dulcimer bands playing cardas there. It is a bit similar to flamenco, which is played by Gypsies of Southern Spain. I do not think that I have ever heard anybody play cardas as a classical guitar piece.That is why I wrote this music and I find guitar the perfect instrument for cardas. Please have a listen to me playing the piece on SoundCloud :)

The most beautiful Spanish Christmas carols in one booklet. You and your audience will enjoy the flair of Spanish sounds. The Spanish Christmas carols are unfortunately not yet very well known in Central Europe but they captivate with their partly flamenco-style sounds and will certainly surprise your audience. It is a very big joy to play and the sounds give the Christmas party the special touch.

Salamanca I find thetraditional music of Spain fascinating: very much based on guitar andFlamenco ? and passionate!
