This video is part of online series: Remembering Julian Bream. The New York Guitar Festival invited some of our favorite artists to reflect on the life and musical legacy of the Grammy Award-winning classical guitarist and lutenist Julian Bream.
On the video William Kanengiser performs 5 Impromptus by English composer Richard Rodney Bennet. This piece was composed in 1968 and dedicated to Julian Bream.
The Impromptus grew out of a request by Julian Bream for a guitar concerto. Bennett, having never written for the guitar before, did not feel comfortable beginning with a large, multi- movement work. He began the Impromptus as an exercise to teach himself how to write well for the instrument.
On writing for the guitar Bennett has said:
«There was no way I was going to write a concerto for Julian right off, because I didn’t know enough about how the guitar worked...[The Impromptus] were a little exercise towards writing a concerto. I tried out various technical things – with different colors of the guitar, what happens when you tune a string down, harmonics»
Enjoy!
