December's here. OMG!

Seems I only blinked twice, and suddenly December's here. And I have to confess, I'm a bit like this guy when it comes to Christmas and the holidays. On the bright side, I'll probably only have to blink again once or twice, and I'll be back in Spring :D In the meantime, let's play guitar! This week I have another great piece from my latest book, The Anthology of Baroque Violin for Guitar. This is the 1st movement Allegro of Violin Concerto in E minor, Op.1 (No.7), Bre6, by Guiseppe Antonio Brescianello (1690-1758). Brescianello was an Italian Baroque composer and violinist, this piece features all late Baroque violin goodness: strong melodies, solistic excursions, fast scale runs, pedal note sequences, and arpeggios driven through long cadences. You can download the transcription in standard notation and tablature, along with the audio files, here: Happy practicing! Stefan Stevie's Guitar Studio |

Hey, how's it going? I hope you had a great summer! Here in Vienna, the extremely hot temperatures are coming to an end, and with autumn approaching quickly, it's still warm but pleasantly cool at night. I had quite a productive streak over the last few weeks. After finishing the rewrite of the Bach Cello Suites, I transcribed Fernando Carulli's famous guitar method, his Op.241, "École de Guitare", also known as Méthode complète pour parvenir à pincer de la guitare in French sources,...
Hey, how's it going? Just a few blinks of the eye, and it's already almost FOUR MONTHS since I last sent out a regular newsletter. Sorry about that. I'm sure you know how this goes. You miss once, but it doesn't matter, you'll just do it next time. Then you miss it again, and you promise to yourself that NEXT TIME, you'll make it for sure. And then you miss it again. You really start to feel guilty. But you simply forget it / suppress it. Then you realize four months have passed. Sounds...
How are you doing? Spring has finally arrived here in Vienna, and I can hardly put into words how much I've been waiting for it. Winter wasn't particularly cold, but it was dark, gray, and depressing. And too long. But now the sun is finally back. And the birds are singing. Seems, they were fed up with winter too. Last weekend we had a crazy weather event with 20 cm of snow out of the blue. By Monday it was all gone, and now spring has truly arrived! And I'm happy! I'm simply a sun child. :D...
