“It has been said that all philosophy is merely a foot note to Plato;
for me all classical guitar playing is a footnote to Andres Segovia”
— Eliot Fisk
This important and comprehensive instructional video takes us to the heart of the music of the great Andres Segovia. Eliot Fisk, a protege of Segovia’s and a master of classical guitar in his own right, has put together a lesson that is filled with invaluable advice on interpretation, musicianship, guitar technique and insights into the timeless Segovia legacy.
An enthusiastic and inspiring teacher, Fisk plays and analyzes some of Segovia’s most memorable pieces for the benefit of the learning guitarist, providing musical ideas, technical pointers and detailed interpretation. Aspiring players will soon be practicing Segovia’s transcriptions of the Bach Prelude in D Minor, three remarkable compositions from his Canciones Populares; and the haunting Estudio Sin Luz. Additionally, the video features Mr. Fisk performing pieces by Bach, Haydn, Ponce and Segovia.
This video lesson, accessible to classical guitarists at all levels, provides a rare look at the technique, tone and deep musicality of the man who was, for all of us, simply “the Maestro.”
