Luigi Legnani - Caprice no.4

Luigi Rinaldo Legnani (1790 - 1877)
Capriccio IV op.20 in A minor
Played by Antoine Pansera
Classical Guitar: Glenn Canin
Audio and Video: René Paradis
Strings : La Bella Vivace HT
Luigi Legnani was a guitar composer whose most active years coincided with the rise of the Romantic period. His virtuosity has often been compared to that of his friend Paganini, and it is highly probable that his 36 caprices for guitar op. 20 were inspired by Paganini's 24 Caprices for violin op. 1. Like Pagagnini's Caprricci, Legnani's are dramatic, expressive and brilliant; demonstrating youthful exuberance while exploring most possible textures on their respective instrument.

Well played, Antoine! These caprices have such great rhythm! Can't wait to hear them when you gut strings arrive. 😎

[@baroquelute]

Hi Josh! Thanks again :) Yes, that's probably what I'll do: try Legnani and maybe a bit of Sor and Tarrega with those gut strings. I will use a spruce top guitar though. Cheers my friend,

Et bien ,tu enchaînes dis-moi! Joli caractère espiègle sur ce caprice, beaucoup de contraste entre les parties, encore une fois, ça donne envie! Comme tu le disais, ces pièces sont vraiment de petites friandises! Bravo!

[@StefanNiggl]

wonderful interpretation, Antoine! What a lovey Caprice! I'll have to check and see if I have the sheet music! 😁

[@baroquelute]

Hello Stefan, long time no see 😉! I hope you are doing well. Those caprices are really cool, in my edition each one fit on one page. Some are pretty challenging but they are full of character.
