Acordai Donzela (Traditional Brazilian) arranged for Two Guitars

The beautiful melody in this piece comes from a
traditional Brazilian folk tune arranged here for
two guitars by Nicoletta Todesco. Guitar 1 carries
the melody, which is almost entirely in eight notes
throughout and so right-hand alternation and
planning out right-hand fingerings to have good
string crossings will be important. Guitar 2 plays
an accompanying role, with a waltz-like rhythm of
right-hand thumb and fingers alternating. There are
some scale passages in guitar 2 as well, which should
come to the foreground in certain moments and in
others need to sync up with guitar 1.

This video is performed by Dave Belcher and Nicoletta Todesco and recorded at Yale University by Matthew LeFevre and Benjamin Schwartz.
