Item Number: H0.905407-SC001424841

Margherita è una delle più famose canzoni italiane.

Scritta nel 1976da Marco Luberti e Riccardo Cocciante,è diventata un evergreeninternazionale grazie anche alle versioni in francese e spagnolo.

Questo sofisticatoarrangiamento rappresenta una grandenovità nel repertorio del chitarrista classico.

Presenta unascrittura che si sviluppa per accumulazione: ad ogni strofa si aggiungequalcosa all’accompagnamento, che lo rende, via via, sempre più fitto. Lapercussione, da battuta 49 a 69 (eseguita dal pollice della mano destra sullecorde quinta e sesta, ne scandisce il ritmo di ballad), metterà a dura prova il chitarrista, il quale si troverà adover sostenere, coerentemente, ritmo, accompagnamento, armonia e lineamelodica.

Infine, lecomplicate diteggiature della mano sinistra, volte a generare risonanze quasipianistiche e sonorità flamenche, fanno di esso uno dei miei miglioriarrangiamenti.

Margherita è uno dei 16 brani presenti nell’album Mi Guitarra y Mis Amores  del 2016.

Margherita is oneof the most famous Italian songs.

Written in 1976 by Marco Luberti and Riccardo Cocciante, it has become an international evergreen thanks also to the French andSpanish versions.

This sophisticated arrangement represents a great novelty in the classicalguitarist's repertoire.

It presents a writing that develops by accumulation:something is added to the accompaniment to each verse, which gradually makes itdenser. The percussion, from bars 49 to 69 (performed by the thumb of the righthand on the fifth and sixth strings, marks the rhythm of the ballad), will put a strain on theguitarist, who will find himself having to consistently sustain rhythm,accompaniment, harmony and melodic line.

Finally, the complicated fingerings of the left hand, aimedat generating almost piano resonances and flamenco sounds, make it one of mybest arrangements.

Margherita is oneof the 16 songs featured on the 2016 album MiGuitarra y Mis Amores.
