Agréments du Foyer: Chasse (Ferrer)

Posted on 21 December 202021 December 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

Freely translated, Agréments du Foyer means Home Pleasures, so here we have pieces for home performance. The Chasse takes us outside with the characteristic sound of the hunting horn. Play some contrast in the passages where the hunting horn is in unison and in two voices. Apparently, Ferrer composed for the higher classes, because many…

Agréments du Foyer: Siciliano (Ferrer)

Posted on 21 December 202021 December 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

Freely translated, Agréments du Foyer means Home Pleasures, so here we have pieces for home performance. The Siciliano is fairly simple, play it with the typical 6/8 rocking movement and vary the sound.

Agréments du Foyer: Menuet (Ferrer)

Posted on 21 December 202021 December 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

Freely translated, Agréments du Foyer means Home Pleasures, so here we have pieces for home performance. A simple Minuet with a few tricky transitions, especially in bars 4/12 and 7/15. The pace does not have to be very fast, so with practice you can work it out.

Aires de mi Tierra (Calandra)

Posted on 14 September 202014 September 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

In her compositions she used motifs from Argentine folk music. Thus, in this piece Aires de mi Tierra (Songs of my Country) the forms Zamba, Vidalita and Pericón are used. The piece is dedicated to María Luisa Anido. There is some position play in the piece. To support that, I have at least indicated the…

Ejercicio in G Major (Ferrer)

Posted on 20 June 202020 June 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

This Etude pleasantly plays away like a little waltz. Emphasize the melody and play the waltz chords softly and a tiny bit staccato. At some spots in the score, playing at higher positions is practical. I marked the strings in those situations.

Tango Argentino (Calatuyud)

Posted on 10 May 202010 May 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

Argentinean tangos have their specific character, you can hear clearly how much Piazolla’s tangos differ from the classic Ballroom tango. In this piece you immediately notice a characteristic difference with the standard tango and his friend the Habanera, the dotted eighth with sixteenth note figures are missing. You have to figure things out in the…

Habanera (Calatuyud)

Posted on 10 May 202010 May 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

A Habanera is the Cuban form of the tango, originating from Havana, hence the name. A little more tropical than its Spanish counterpart, a Habanera can also be played a bit slower and sultrier. This Habanera has two sections, one in A minor, one in A major. If necessary, you can repeat the first section…

Guarijita (Calatuyud)

Posted on 10 May 202010 May 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

A Guarijita is a lively Spanish dance in a strict 6/8 – 3/4 form. It takes a bit of puzzling in the higher positions to play the piece smoothly. The passages with rasgueado strokes emphasize the Spanish character.

Cubanita (Calatuyud)

Posted on 10 May 202010 May 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

Cubanita is a Habanera, the Cuban form of the tango, originating from Havana, hence the name. A little more tropical than its Spanish counterpart, a Habanera can also be played a bit slower and sultrier. This piece is a bit of a puzzle in which position you have to play to maintain smooth transitions.

Caramba (Calatuyud)

Posted on 10 May 202010 May 2020 by Mark (Beheerder)

A tango-like piece that plays away nicely. As improvisation you can play the triplets of a tango. Pay attention to the playing position in the first bars of the corner sections, and don’t forget to go back to the lower positions in the A major section. If necessary, you can repeat the first section as…
