Default Prelude No.5 by Heitor Villalobos

Hi! Today I share with you the piece that made me fall in love with classical guitar: Prelude No.5 by Heitor Villalobos.

I remember I learned this a long time ago when I didn't even know how to play classical guitar and it sucked a lot, but now I think I'm better at it.

What's the piece that made you love classical guitar?

Very nice technical playing and interpretation.

I agree. Very nice playing and a good feel for the music. It's a difficult piece.
If I may offer a suggestion:
I would try playing the C part just a tad slower. The piece is bookended by the two A sections, which are also up tempo (poco animato), so there would be less of a tempo contrast between your A and C sections, and it may help give your C section better definition.
Just a suggestion! Great job on the piece!

Very nice. That is such a difficult piece to pick when you're a beginner.

The piece that got me into classical guitar is not even classical. I attended a guitar panorama and heard Classical Gas. I fell in love and started playing guitar since. Here's the weird part. I never got around to learning it. And as I became more familiar with classical and flamenco, I sort of just moved on from Classical Gas. I still think it's a cool tune, but I doubt I'll ever learn it.

I've heard about that piece a couple of times but I've also never played it. I'll listen to it for sure
