Hi! You guys know Albeniz? Albeniz and Granados are a famous Spanish composer. If you want to feel Spanish classical music, I recommend that you guys try to listen to Granados’s and Albeniz’s pieces. Several years ago, I was invited as a pianist for Albeniz’s Iberia Concert. So, I have got attached to Albeniz's pieces. Today, I prepared the piece “Asturias”. It is well-known as a famous classical guitar piece. But, originally, it was composed as a piano piece. Asturias is the region which is located in north-west Spain. I tried to find out the composition background of the piece “Asturias”. But, I was not able to find the accurate information. Some papers say that it describes the war in the Asturias region. But, I am not sure that it is the accurate information. If you guys know the accurate information, please leave the comment. It will be helpful for people. I hope that you guys enjoy this piece. Thank you! Have a nice day!

One of the most underrated pieces. It's widely known as a piece for guitar. The original was for a piano. Of course the guitar version is warmer due to the nature of the instrument but your playing is surprisingly warm too. Keep up the great work, more of these spanish pieces should be recognised.

Did you know that...

Asturias, was, first, named Leyenda by Albeniz
The name Asturias was given to it posthumously by the German publisher Hofmeister, who included it in the 1911 "complete version" of the Suite española, although Albéniz never intended the piece for this suite.

This music is commonly played on the guitar but was originally composed for piano.
So thank you kassia for sharing this music on its original instrument ❤️

Wow we posted at almost the same time. Heard this on guitar before. Really good rendition! I wish I could learn as fast as you!

Describes perfectly the landscape and life of Asturies, beautiful green forests, contrasted with the gray and black tones of the mountains and mines, while being accompanied by the crash of the waves on the shore, and the fishermen struggling against the strong waves that the north has to offer. Truly a masterpiece, fit for the name of Asturies, greetings from Ribeseya

when i was 13 years old, i learned this for a recital. at a young age i was very musically gifted and i used it to my full potential

i opened youtube for the first time in a while and for the first time in 12 years, i found and heard this song. it was such a pain to learn but somehow i remember it. also, i miss this song. this song brings back childhood memories so thank you so much. ❤

Note: after playing this piece, your D-key won't work anymore

[gintaniii]

I really love the transition from when the keys were a red color to the gold. It went from a mildly epic tone to a very calm and relaxing one. Man I love pieces that transition like that.

The people who disliked are the ones who don't have a D-Key

"The thing about this piece is that it says 'Let me show you what the piano can do.' It has everything from unique chords, to percussive parts, to lyrical lines. Everybody plays Liszt and Mozart and Chopin and Schubert but this piece...it's so off the spectrum. No one's ever even heard of it. It's like its own universe."

My piano teacher told me this when he taught me El Albaicín by Albeniz about a year ago. It's become one of my favorite pieces I've ever had the pleasure to play. My piano teacher's words can be applied to a lot of Albeniz' pieces, including this one. I always get excited when I watch your videos and recognize a familiar piece or composer, but I'm beyond ecstatic that you performed Albeniz. As always, thank you for sharing your music :)

[luxaeterna]

I wouldn’t have ever expected Albeniz on this channel! You never cease to leave me astonished, also this piece... this piece is Gold poured onto the Music Sheet, great choice!
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever said this, but the Editing in your video is so well done! The particles are numerous but aren’t a nuisance, indeed a joy to the eye.
Great job and thank you for your performance!

I need to speak on my lengrige because l can't explain.
Prva osoba koju sam čula od bar 10 boljih pijanista na klaviru da ga svira sa srcem, ne matematički.Osjetila sam dvije tri sitne greskice, nebitne su .Ovaj komad mi je obilježio čitav život i znam ga u notu 😘, u dušu .I drago mi je da ga je neko osjetio a osjećaj čujem .
Hvala ❤

This is the first time I'm listening to this piece! Thank you for introducing us to a new piece. We really appreciate it Kassia!

[VicJang]

Kassia, this is a beautiful piece and you played it flawlessly. Thank you.

[checkfactschecking]

WOW. I have never heard that piece on piano before and I've always thought it was written for guitar! You played it beautifully. I think my jaw was dropped throughout the entire performance. Bravo!

[arnauhernandez]

Thank you, I'm learning this right now😊❤️

por fin encuentro algo de música “clásica” española. Eso es algo que nunca me gusto de España, y es que estuvimos muy cerrados a la música de Europa Central, y pese a que se ve la gran influencia de música tradicional, el hecho de componer para piano y no para guitarra fue un gran avance en la música de España. Lamentablemente, más tarde con la dictadura de Franco nos cerramos a la música del siglo XX y nos perdimos mucho. También eso ha reforzado la mezcla actual de nuestras venas árabes y europeas, teniendo ahora compositores sin igual como Antón Garcia Abril, o en este caso a Albeniz.
Edit: ya conocia esta obra y a compositores españoles, lo que pasa es que no había ningún canal internacional grande de musica que se interesara minimamente por estos compositores, Enhorabuena Kassia!!! Me encantó!!!

[benjamin]

Yes, i do know Albeniz, It is an amazing piece by an excellent composer. I had listened to it before played on guitar. I am currently watching, I haven’t finished, but it is an amazing rendition from what I have watched.

[clucho]

Según Paola Hermosín, joven andaluza guitarrista, ya Albeniz había compuesto: Granada, Sevilla, Extremadura, dedicò esta Leyenda al Norte de España recordando el flamenco y la jota Aragonesa.
Increíble Kassia tu versión en piano.
