Maestro Sanlucar (Vicente Amigo)

Hi,

I'm looking for a transcription of Vicente amigo; Maestro Sanlucar (alegrias).
I know you can buy the vicente amigo transcription book "Maestros Contemporaneos", but it costs 55€ and it's only maestro sanlucar that I need.
I have 2cd's of Vicente so you can't say I don't support his work.

So is there anyone who could send me the transcription pleeaasssee, you would make my day...:-)

There is a book of Alegrias transcriptions by Claude Worms which includes it and I think it represents better value for money. The volume also includes La Barossa by PDL and othere strong pieces.

You will be supporting the transcriber, as well as the composer if you buy it.

Sure I can if I want. Anyway, the Claude Worms book on Vicente has lots of mistakes, I recommend only as a reference for serious fans or advanced players that work mainly by ear. I think you can get an under the table version of this piece from Faucher. He is pretty accurate.

I agree with Ricardo
Even though I am not very advanced palyer I found some mistakes in the Claude Worms transcriptions, especialy in the Alegria and the Taranta

As a note to VA transcriptions and other famous players transcriptions
For someone like me, who is not a pro, who still has alot to learn such books are kind of useless...
what I mean is that I can pick up some falsetas from the book... so what?
Am I ever going to present them in public? no because somebody else played them better than I ever going to play them...
There are few famous pieces of music in my opinion that I can benefit from by studying them... For example "Cepa Andalusa" (it a buleria in the time tha Paco was evolving from old school to modern.. ) In there I find ideas I can understand, that are not complex , I can count , and I can incorporate in my playing amd make them mine in one or another way...
If for example I had a chance to get a private lesson from VA I would never ask him to show me anything from his albums...instead I would ask him to show me what he worked on in the past five years before he released his latest album
I would do that in order to understand what I am listenig at Ciudad de las ideas
how it came to be what it is

Anyway I am rumbling because I am bored at work

Best Regards
