Études tableaux pour la guitarre: II. Cortège funèbre [Philip Daniel; 2020]

By PhilipDaniel | Musica Melopoetica | 14 Apr 2020


 

Second in a series of virtuoso etudes for guitar. A deeply tragic funeral march (literally "funeral procession"), characterized by bel canto (that is, roughly speaking, song-like) melodies imbued with a sort of obsessive intensity. You may find the score here.

The painting in the video is "Return of the peasants from a funeral in the winter" by Vasily Perov.
