Italian classical guitarist Giulio Tampalini performs Six pieces brèves (dedicated to Angelo Gilardino) by Hungarian composer Ferenc Farkas (1905-2000). This comes via his YouTube channel. Great performance by Tampalini of this excellent work filled with so much motivic interest. You can find the filming locations in the description of his YouTube videos. Below is some info on the pieces by the composer:
The “Six pieces brèves” were commissioned by Angelo Gilardino, the famous Italian guitarist in 1970. The first movement, “Preambolo”, has the majestic tempo of an introductory piece. It is followed by “Scène de ballet”, light as a waltz. The “Danse guerrière” is a war dance with a powerful rhythm, the fourth movement, “Grinzing”, is a small ironic quotation from the Viennese waltz. After a short “Intermezzo”, the work ends with “Tivorno”, which rhythm is typically Bulgarian. – Ferenc Farkas via ferencfarkas.org
