PLAY IT LIKE A PRO™
Recuerdos
de la
Alhambra
By Francisco Tárrega
Without a doubt Recuerdos de la Alhambra is one of the most famous pieces
in the classical guitar repertoire. "Someday I want to learn Recuerdos" are the words spoken by almost every guitarist at some point in his or her life.
For you, that day has arrived!
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU ORDER!
This video is NOT about learning the tremolo. If you want to learn the tremolo, purchase Doug's comprehensive lesson titled
How to Master the Tremolo
. If you are a subscriber to Doug's Technique Tip of the Month, you can login to the Subscribers Portal and read it there for free.
IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: You should be well on your way to learning the tremolo before you begin playing Recuerdos de la Alhambra. It takes about six months to develop a good tremolo. Attempting to learn Recuerdos de la Alhambra before developing a good tremolo will hijack your attention to the left hand and distract you from focusing on the right hand and mastering the tremolo.
We repeat, this Play It Like a Pro™ —Recuerdos de la Alhambra package does NOT teach you how to develop a good tremolo.

Learn to play Recuerdos de la Alhambra like a pro.

Or, how about those passages with the difficult triplet slurs? These examples (and the video) explain how to finally master them!


The Interpretation and Performance Score
This is a sample of the Interpretation and Performance Score. Notated in standard notation and tab, this score provides detailed performance suggestions covering tempo choice, numerous schemes for dynamics, vibrato, tone color choice, tone color changes, accentuation, and rubato. Again, the sample below is a web image. The PDF version you receive will be crystal clear.

Here is a short excerpt from the written performance suggestions in the annotated Interpretation and Performance Score:
TEMPO
Tárrega specifies "Andante" (walking pace) in the published version. The manuscript specifies "Andantino". (Andantino usually means slightly faster than andante but in some cases is taken to mean slightly slower than andante. So it is difficult to interpret its meaning.) Depending on who you believe, metronome settings for Andante range from 56-108 beats per minute (BPM). That is an
extremely wide range so it isn't very helpful.
You will hear guitarists play the piece at anywhere from 70-92 for a quarter note. If played slower than 70, the tremolo begins to lose its unique quality. If played faster than 92, the piece begins to race and lose its poetic and reflective mood. Personally,
I prefer the range of 72-78 beats per minute for a quarter note.
DYNAMICS
Tárrega indicates dynamics only for the first four measures. If interpreted literally, this means the same pattern is to be used until the composer indicates a change. In this case he intends for the pattern to be used throughout the piece until the very end when he specifies pianissimo in m55. I have notated Tárrega's crescendo/decrescendo pattern throughout the piece.
However, other schemes of dynamics can also be used. I have indicated each scheme in its own color. You do not have to stick with one scheme
throughout the piece. You may jump from one scheme to another as you wish, often within the same phrase. Be sure to change your dynamics on the repeats.
