In this new series we will be featuring achievements of various members at the Classical Guitar Corner Academy. <\/em><\/p>\n

In this first installment of Classical Guitar Corner Academy Member Spotlight we’d like to introduce a lovely performance by member Andrew Duxfield. Andrew (Liverpool, UK) has been playing guitar for many years but he has only recently begun playing classical guitar. He’s been a member at CGC Academy for a bit over a year now. The video below is from Andrew’s first ever public classical guitar performance, given at the lovely Williamson Gallery in Birkenhead for Liverpool Classical Guitar Society’s Showcase Concert.<\/p>\n

“Capricho Catal\u00e1n<\/span>” is the fifth of six movements of Isaac Alb\u00e9niz<\/span>‘s “Espa\u00f1a” (Op. 165, first published in 1890). These short salon pieces form almost a sort of Spanish dance suite, with an opening prelude and four Spanish dances that follow (a la old Baroque dance suites). Though the “Capricho Catal\u00e1n<\/span>” has the tempo marking “Allegretto” it is unlike the more virtuosic capriccios of the nineteenth century and the primary dynamic marking throughout is “piano.” However, it does maintain its dance-like character with the bass ostinato that recurs throughout.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
