I've played Classical Guitar for over 45 years, I used to teach. From about midpoint on, she is talking about illusion. I quit teaching when I realized I learned many illusions but could not teach them. Illusion is what separates great musicians from good ones. For instance, when she shows a vibrato note "sounds" like it sustains more (it doesn't, it's actually much shorter). Pay close attention to her words, there are entire worlds in some of her words. She describes many illusions, this is a fantastic video!!!

Cavatina was actually composed for the 1970 film The Walking Stick, and most of the piece is used throughout the film played on classical guitar. Well before The Deer Hunter.

I am playing Cavatina these days. I am memorizing it and polishing it, and this video was fantastic. I will try to bring out the melody with the arpeggio played softly. I will play it as dreamy and calmly and clearly as possible. The video made me very enthusiastic about getting Cavatina almost perfect. That is my present guitar goal, and your video was great!

Myers wrote it on piano for "The walking stick", a British crime thriller. It was played on that soundtrack, transcribed to guitar, but only the lyrical aspect. The backing to the piece was orchestrated. The guitar was played by an unknown, uncredited musician. John Williams convinced Myers to expand the piece into a full work for classical guitar. Then it became the Dear hunter theme, played by Williams. So Ms Yang has got this slightly wrong but I forgive her, as she is one of my favourite guitarists! (Yes, I'm a guitar nerd..)

Below is not quite correct Stanley Meyers was composing it for the film The walking stick or The broken walking stick. John Williams heard him playing it on the piano Meyers told him he was writing it for the film but only had the A section so John Williams said it is a lovely melody if you write a B section you will have a long complete piece so that is how it was created. That is how John Williams came upon before anyone else.

If I remember correctly Cavatina was a piano original by Stanley Myers and was composed for the film The Walking Stick. It was transcribed by the famous English guiarist and lutanist Julian Bream. He played it back to Myers and got his approval to perform it as a guitar solo. The well known Australian subsequently recorded cor use in the film Deerhunter.

@@matthewshannon6318 Julian Bream was first you know, John Williams transcribed his own and the movie misappropriated credits to John Williams. Bream waited for the gaffe to be corrected but it never was. However; his version appeared on record about two years earlier, so the proof lies in the vinyl. Read about it in Bream's autobiography 'a Life on the Road'.

This is a lesson in dynamics. The untrained ear always hears the highest note first. The singing tone in the Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven is a great example of dynamics. There are notes meant to be heard over others Even though they play at the same time
