A barcarola is a boat song and with it comes a gently swaying 6/8 time signature. This is a piece wheretechnical difficulty can pose a substantial challenge to bringing out musical ideas. In large part it is the dense left-hand figurations that make this musical flow challenging to play.
Therefore, it will be well worth your time focusing in on transitions between musical moments and placing careful attention to your shifting and legato technique. The guiding force behind all of this will be a clear idea of melodic line and phrasing.
The piece makes great use of the guitar’s resonance, thanks to the drop-D tuning, and it also shines with a lyrical melody that will be enhanced by vibrato.
