The Most Influential Guitar Piece Was Written by a Pianist
In this video, Prof. Steve Goss explains why Manuel de Falla’s Homenaje is most important guitar piece in the first half of the 20th century, and how it spurned on a frenzy of new compositions for the guitar by non-guitarist composers.
Allow Steve Goss and Zoran Dukic to take you on a journey through the life and music of Manuel de Falla. Although his music deeply reflected the traditional culture of his native Spain, he was also heavily influenced by the works of other contemporary greats such as Debussy and Scriabin.
Join us as we explore the life of Manuel de Falla in the place where he lived and composed, his house in Granada, Spain. We are fortunate enough to interview with Falla’s niece, Elena Garcia de Paredes, and we were granted access to the safe of the Manuel de Falla archives, where we were able to film the original manuscripts and belongings of the composer.
This video is part of a 3-part, 100-minute course on tonebase.

Great video, thank you! Amazing photo of Segovia with Falla. Segovia had such a long life, who didn't he meet? It's like he passed through a Madam Tussaud's with a Who's Who of the entire 20th century.
This is so cool
Impotant
The metronome marking says 60. Why do guitarists never follow that tempo?
Amazing video!
It helps me a lot because I'm currently studying this piece:D
Amazing video. ????
so what piece was it? which piece of those? which piece heard was written by who? it was barely clear when you were talking about any piece at all even
Sorry, the piece is great but is not the most influencial guitar piece of the history. I don't believe in the label the best composer, the best composition, the best piece, the most influencial, the best performance, the best orchestra etc. Music is not a race, is not an eternal competicion for 'the best'.
This seems like a really interesting doco. It's a shame that you have such a quiet voice, and harder to hear by adding even a little guitar music over it. Why do people do this? It's such a waste.
Great lecture, performances, and video, thank you!!! However, you might want to correct the unfortunate in video typo at approximately 0.27: "Why is Homage so IMPOTANT?" 🙂
Brian Babonde. ????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????
loved it! I don't fully agree with the following statement though: “and it really still stands alone as the only piece in the whole of the first half of the 20th century that was written by a well-known composer who didn’t play the instrument”; Joaquin Rodrigo composed the "Concierto de Aranjuez" (arguably, THE most well-known guitar piece) in 1939 (premiered in 1940) and he didn't play the guitar either.
Would love to see the unfinished piece! Is it possible?
Excellent ????
