Guitar Composer: Guitar Solo - Poem 'How are you Fine thank you'

Hendrik van Rijn ... guitar player, teacher and composer... 1940 Holland-Enkhuizen / 1966-1970 music lyceum Arnhem and Rotterdam conservatory.

"Most old and Baroque music (for example) was originally written for Lute. Later when the guitar became more popular this music was transposed for guitar. Wich made the fingering of this melodic music more difficult than it should... catchy music, but hard to play.
The difficulty does not contribute to the musicality...

So, why not compose melodic music that is comfortable to play on a classical guitar, in stead of making it more difficult to play than it sounds? This became my goal. I want musicality to prevail above technique. Because not the technique makes the music, the musicality does.

You will not find many compelling directions in my compositions. The pitch is fixed and I give you a hint, but you are as free as a bird, in interpreting, in embellishments and in tempo.

I compose for pleasure, for myself and my fellow players. This allows me to feel free to share my music with anyone who likes it. I am very curious how you (like to) interpret my music... so send me your soundtrack... if you dare (like)... to enjoy :)

This blog is the result of a lifetime.
I hope you enjoy the music like I do.
