Barrios

Vals Op. 8 No. 4

Taught by renowned guitarist 

Laura Snowden

Join Laura Snowden for another lesson as she provides an astonishingly detailed video on Agustin Barrios Mangore’s Vals No. 4. Laura discusses the origins of the waltz, a historically more playful dance than traditionally conservative dances such as the minuet. Along with its playful nature, Laura advises us about creating and telling our own story. The video is divided into parts that correspond with the sections of the piece, where Laura goes into detail on technical and musical choices one can make.
