In this episode I take you into the world of Giuliani and Rossini as we explore the Rossiniana No.1 by Mauro Giuliani.
Rossiniana I, Op. 119
Themes:
Introduction (Andantino) “Assisa a piè d’un salice” (Otello) “Languir per una bella”, Andante grazioso (L’Italienne à Alger) “Con gran piacer, ben mio”, Maestoso (L’Italienne à Alger) ”Caro, caro ti parlo in petto”, Moderato (L’Italienne à Alger) “Cara, per te quest’anima”, Allegro Vivace (Armida)
What other pieces would you like me to discuss? Let me know in the comments below.
Simon,
I think this was the best podcast yet. Please don’t stop doing the interviews, but you should definitely do more podcasts like these. I know it is a lot of work and we all appreciate it.
Hey Simon,
I haven’t had a chance to listen to this one yet, but if you could do a future episode on either the Prelude or Fugue (Prelude would take less time, Im guessing) from BWV 998 that would be great. Always looking for new insights regarding Bach interpretation.

Simon,
I thought this podcast was fantastic and so very interesting. I can imagine how long it took to pull together for us so a big thank you. I learnt so much and I’m sure many other listeners will do too. All the best, Jenny
Simon
Congratulations and thanks again for your continuous great contributions to those of us lucky to discover C.G.C.
This format is superb.
My personal suggestion for future work: Bach Ciaccona (BWV 1004).
Have a great Easter.
Isaac
Barrios
Any piece in particular, Wayne?
Hi Simon,
Thank you very much for this, a complete revelation to me and communicated with analogies that made perfect sense and helped me grasp the concepts being discussed.
Totally addictive, I hope you find time to produce similar episodes as it broadens our horizons and musical knowledge.
Thank you
Paul
Hi Simon. I happened to have a copy of Mr. Giuliani’s Op 119 Rossiniane No. 1 and it was fun to follow along as you taught about it. It’s free, for those who would like to do the same.

I think t was published contemporaneously, or nearly so. and the copy is poor in some areas, but sufficient, I would say.
This podcast was SO helpful! I couldn’t ever get past the 3rd measure because I couldn’t figure out the count! If you haven’t done so already, perhaps one day a lesson on those artificial harmonics? I can’t get those for some reason.
I’ve always thought it would be interesting to find out which Rossini operas Giuliani based his composition on. Now you’ve presented just that for No.1- thank you!
Comments suggest Bach for future podcasts of this type. I think many listeners would appreciate insights into his compositions. Any of Bach’s music would be great here.
Best wishes for a Happy Easter,
Linda
Hi Simon
Greetings from Manchester UK.
Congratulations on your work, this is a great podcast!
An interesting piece to talk about would be Britten’s Nocturnal op 70.
Best wishes,
Jon
Most enjoyable Simon. Thoroughly enjoyed it from the first note to the final senorita :)
Hi could you do something on danzas espaniola oriental no 2 ,would really like some tab thanks bw tony
Hi Simon. Very interesting podcast, but I still do enjoy your guitar version a lot more than the original arias :)
I love the video recording of Mallorca by Isaac Albeniz you made a few years ago. Maybe you can tell more about that?
Hi Simon,
I really enjoyed this wonderful podcast. Your explanations are so interesting and educational and your playing moved me emotionally. Such virtuosity. When I hear you playing on your magnificent guitar I sometimes feel I am listening to a grand piano.
All honour to you,
Micha
Hugely enjoyable podcast! Bravo! Please bring more like this one.
Hi Simon
What a thoroughly enjoyable podcast! Many thanks to you and everyone else who contributed to its production.
Monika
Great lesson in music appreciation, ! more of this across many composers please!
(have you ever thought of starting a music school? I’d join..:)
thanks again for the hard work, Simon (and Dave)
Katherine
Good work!
So, definitely not saying that the rest of the podcast wasn’t highly interesting and informative. However, whenever I think about the podcast or the word “Rossiniana,” in general, the first thing that now pops into my head is Evita’s Bugs impression. Freaking ADORABLE, little wabbit. Love it. :)
Great podcast, Simon! Very enjoyable and enlightening. Future works to analyse……..perhaps, Bach’s Chaccone (or any of the cello suites), Britten’s Nocturnal, Albeniz ‘Asturias’, Phillip Houghton’s ‘Stele’ and maybe guitar concerto’s such as Rodrigo’s or Ross Edward’s. There would be so many others!
Once again, thank you, Simon.
What a treat, Simon! Such an enjoyable podcast. My drive to and from work is short enough that it took three trips to finish the podcast, and the drive in today was entirely your performance. It was pure delight. Thank you!
Thank you so much
Hi Simon i “discovered” you on youtube via the fiddle fugue orig. g-minor,
such a masterful performance. Your admonition to stick to one piece and forgo noodles has got me to the point (after fifty years of putzing with the piece) of memorizing it and going for a deep reverential tone. Would love to hear you hold forth (shades of Schenkerian analysis) in a walk through. Best Nick Shryock
What a wonderful podcast and a splendid vertuosic performance! Thank you for the link to the score. It makes me appreciate your playing evermore.
Wow. I felt like I was back in college listening to a famous professor. Please do more podcasts like this.
Excellant guitar playing!
