The evolution of the classical guitar and its repertoire spans more than four centuries. It has a history that was shaped by contributions from earlier instruments, such as the lute, the vihuela, and the baroque guitar. The last guitarist to follow in Segovia's footsteps was Julian Bream and Julian Bream will be 73 years old on July 15th Do not understand me wrong, we have many guitarists today that are very excellent performers, but none with such a distinct personality in their tone and style as Llobet, Segovia and Bream.
In all instrumental areas, not just the guitar, there is a lack of individualism with a strong tendency to conformity. This I find very unfortunate since art music, theatre or the pictorial arts is a very individual and personal matter. The origins of the modern guitar are not known with certainty. Some believe it is indigenous to Europe, while others think it is an imported instrument.
This means that the contemporary Iranian instruments such as the tanbur and setar are distantly related to the European guitar, as they all derive ultimately from the same ancient origins, but by very different historical routes and influences.
During the late Middle Ages, gitterns called 'guitars' were in use, but their construction and tuning was different from modern guitars. The Guitarra Latina in Spain, had curved sides and a single hole. The Guitarra Morisca , which appears to have had Moorish influences, had an oval soundbox and many sound holes on its soundboard. By the 15th century, a four course double-string instrument called the vihuela de mano, that had tuning like the later modern guitar except on one string and similar construction, first appeared in Spain and spread to France and Italy.
In the 16th century, a fifth double-string was added. During this time, composers wrote mostly in tablature notation. In the middle of the 16th century, influences from the vihuela and the renaissance guitar were combined and the baroque five string guitar appeared in Spain. In the late 18th century the six string guitar quickly became popular at the expense of the five string guitars.
During the 19th century the Spanish luthier and player Antonio de Torres gave the modern classical guitar its definitive form, with a broadened body, increased waist curve, thinned belly, improved internal bracing.
This four-course 'guitar' was popular in France, Spain, and Italy. In France this instrument gained popularity among aristocrats. In Adrian Le Roy also published his Premier Livre de Tablature de Guiterne, and in the same year he also published Briefve et facile instruction pour apprendre la tablature a bien accorder, conduire, et disposer la main sur la Guiterne.
Morlaye's Le Premier Livre de Chansons, Gaillardes, Pavannes, Bransles, Almandes, Fantasies — which has a four-course instrument illustrated on its title page — was published in partnership with Michel Fedenzat, and among other music, they published six books of tablature by lutenist Albert de Rippe who was very likely Guillaume's teacher.
The written history of the classical guitar can be traced back to the early 16th century with the development of the vihuela in Spain. While the lute was then becoming popular in other parts of Europe, the Spaniards did not take to it well because of its association with the Moors. In its most developed form, the vihuela was a guitar-like instrument with six double strings made of gut, tuned like a modern classical guitar with the exception of the third string, which was tuned half a step lower.
It has a high sound and is rather large to hold. Few have survived and most of what is known today comes from diagrams and paintings. The earliest extant six-string guitar is believed to have been built in by Gaetano Vinaccia — after in Naples, Italy; however, the date on the label is a little ambiguous. This guitar has been examined and does not show tell-tale signs of modifications from a double-course guitar.
This also corresponds to when Moretti's 6-string method appeared, in The modern classical guitar also known as the 'Spanish guitar' , the immediate forerunner of today's guitars, was developed in the 19th century by Antonio de Torres Jurado, Ignacio Fleta, Hermann Hauser Sr.
The fingerstyle is used fervently on the modern classical guitar. The thumb traditionally plucks the bass — or root note — whereas the fingers ring the melody and its accompanying parts. In the 20th century, many non-guitarist composers wrote for the instrument, which previously only players of the instrument had done. The modern classical guitar is usually played in a seated position, with the instrument resting on the left lap — and the left foot placed on a footstool.
Alternatively — if a footstool is not used — a guitar support can be placed between the guitar and the left lap the support usually attaches to the instrument's side with suction cups. There are of course exceptions, with some performers choosing to hold the instrument another way. Right-handed players use the fingers of the right hand to pluck the strings, with the thumb plucking from the top of a string downwards downstroke and the other fingers plucking from the bottom of string upwards upstroke.
The little finger in classical technique as it evolved in the 20th century is used only to ride along with the ring finger without striking the strings and to thus physiologically facilitate the ring finger's motion.
In contrast, Flamenco technique, and classical compositions evoking Flamenco, employ the little finger semi-independently in the Flamenco four-finger rasgueado, that rapid strumming of the string by the fingers in reverse order employing the back of the fingernail—a familiar characteristic of Flamenco. Flamenco technique, in the performance of the rasgueado also uses the upstroke of the four fingers and the downstroke of the thumb: the string is hit not only with the inner, fleshy side of the fingertip but also with the outer, fingernail side.
This was also used in a technique of the vihuela called dedillo [41] which has recently begun to be introduced on the classical guitar.
Rak and Yamashita have also generalized the use of the upstroke of the four fingers and the downstroke of the thumb the same technique as in the rasgueado of the Flamenco: as explained above the string is hit not only with the inner, fleshy side of the fingertip but also with the outer, fingernail side both as a free stroke and as a rest stroke.
As with other plucked instruments such as the lute , the musician directly touches the strings usually plucking to produce the sound.
For example, plucking an open string will sound brighter than playing the same note s on a fretted position which would have a warmer tone. The instrument's versatility means it can create a variety of tones, but this also makes the instrument harder to learn than a standard acoustic guitar. On the classical guitar thumb of the left hand is never used to stop strings from above as is done on the electric guitar : the neck of a classical guitar is too wide and the normal position of the thumb used in classical guitar technique do not make that possible.
Scores contrary to tablatures do not systematically indicate the string to be plucked although in most cases the choice is obvious. When an indication of the string is required the strings are designated 1 to 6 from the 1st the high E to the 6th the low E with figures 1 to 6 inside circles. To achieve tremolo effects and rapid, fluent scale passages, the player must practice alternation, that is, never plucking a string with the same finger twice in a row. Using p to indicate the thumb, i the index finger, m the middle finger and a the ring finger, common alternation patterns include:.
Music written specifically for the classical guitar dates from the addition of the sixth string the baroque guitar normally had five pairs of strings in the late 18th century.
A guitar recital may include a variety of works, e. Spain c. Italy , for the baroque lute by Sylvius Leopold Weiss b. France c. Spain and Enrique Granados b. Spain
