Summary of This Method
This third and final volume of Les Chemins de la virtuosité, designed by guitarist and composer Jean-Pierre Grau, focuses on a pillar often decisive in instrumental playing: the right hand. While the left hand produces the notes, the right hand shapes musical breathing, articulation, projection, and expressiveness. The book thus explores the mechanisms that stabilize the gesture while enriching the sonic palette, aiming to guide the performer toward a more secure and musical technique.
Throughout the exercises, the method addresses essential aspects such as rest-stroke and free-stroke alternation and arpeggio shifts, with a focus on mobility designed to clarify finger action and improve regularity. The goal is not just speed but mastery: developing controlled attack, sound continuity, and fine accent management-indispensable elements for maintaining rhythm, varying colors, and constructing coherent phrasing.
Jean-Pierre Grau also highlights what musicians experience daily: the right hand is often the first to suffer from fatigue, stage fright, or insufficient memorization. By working on gesture awareness and coordination, this method helps consolidate automatisms and regain stability in performance situations.
To close the trilogy, the author offers work on legato in shifts and extensions, a domain rarely addressed in many specialized works, as well as some barre exercises presented playfully as mini-studies. An ideal set for classical guitarists wishing to refine their technique, strengthen their sound control, and transform technical effort into genuine musical intention.
