Hello, this is my introduction post as @classical-guitar on Steemit.com. I’m an enthusiastic amateur classical guitar player who likes to remain anonymous. I’ve been playing for many years and it’s my pleasure to start sharing the music that I love here on Steemit.
I’m planning to record and post a piece at least once a week. The first two pieces I like to share are the Sarabande & Double from the violin partita no. 1 from J. S. Bach. Bach is probably my favourite composer for the guitar although he never wrote for the instrument. There are four lute suites and some other works that Bach supposedly wrote for the lute but it’s more likely that he wrote them for the the lute-harpsichord. Still there is a vast amount of work that can be adapted to the guitar. Especially the suites and partitas for solo violin and cello work really well on the guitar but also some pieces written for harpsichord lend themselves to be transcribed for the guitar.
The Sarabande & Double are usually performed as a pair. The chords and chord sequence are 100% identical for both pieces and it’s interesting to hear how different the two pieces sound considering. The Double I’ve only been playing for a couple of weeks and needs a bit of polishing.
I only have one guitar, my good old Esteve Granados 1GR12 from 1993. I’m very happy with it and it has a nice full and rich sound. The body is made out of mahogany and the top is cedar. The strings that I use are Pro-Arte from D’Addario.
Other pieces of music that I’ll share in the near future are:
Berceuse - Leo Brouwer
Choro no. 1 - Heitor Villa-Lobos
Prelude no. 9 WTC book 1 - J. S. Bach
Sonate in e minor L. 352 - D. Scarlatti
Passacaille in D major - S. L. Weiss
Suite Venezolano - Antonio Lauro
and much more
The next piece will be a gigue in D major from Sylvius Leopold Weiss. A piece I haven’t seen performed on the guitar yet.
If you love classical guitar music and like what I do please consider following me. Thanks.

Wow, I'm in awe of your playing!! So beautiful. I began/attempted playing guitar a few years ago, watching both your hands (thank you by the way for the split screen!!) was just amazing.
I found your post because @bjgeese featured you in our Pay it Forward contest, and I see from the comments you already know that! It's a weekly ongoing one, and you are most welcome to join. It's run by @thedarkhorse and I am one of the judges.
I also shared your link in @c-squared's Discord channel; here is a post I wrote explaining who they are and what they do. The short story is that they are wonderful!! Please don't upvote my post since it's past the seven day payout period.
Finally, I see you are fairly new here. I also work with a couple of groups who welcome and support new folks. If you are interested, here is the link to @greetersguild and the link to @newbieresteemday, both awesome groups to join. In fact, I am also returning as @newbieresteemday to resteem your post in the hopes of it getting more views. I'm also putting this link in @greetersguild's discord room, so you may get a visit from them as well. Last, but certainly not least, I am a member of @asapers, and we focus on quality unnoticed posts. We actually have a regular newsletter we put out called READ me ASAP featuring posts like this one. Here is their invite link too.
I've thrown plenty at you haha, so if you have any questions at all or need a little help with something, please feel free to ask.
Thanks again for such an awesome post! Cheers :)
