Course Syllabus

Libra Sonatine: Intro

Juan Carlos Arancibia talks about his interaction with Roland Dyens as they discussed the origins and inspiration for the Libra Sonatine, one of Dyen's most popular pieces.

Libra Sonatine: India

Roland Dyens was one of the most eclectic, prolific, and significant classical guitarists, composers, and arrangers of the modern guitar repertoire. One of his most performed pieces is the Libra Sonatine, inspired by his experience with heart issues. In this lesson, Juan Carlos Arancibia teaches the opening movement, India.

Libra Sonatine: Largo

After suffering from heart issues, Roland explores the moods and surrealist emotions of being between life and death in his Largo. Join Juan Carlos Arancibia in this lesson that focuses on transmitting these emotions through legato, intensity, and focus.

Libra Sonatine: Fuoco

Fuoco from the Libra Sonatine might be one of Roland Dyens' most often performed pieces. As Juan Carlos Arancibia describes it, the movement represents Roland's return to life and the fire and excitement to live. Yet, it has a certain hesitancy implying that not all is the same anymore.
