John Williams คนนี้ เล่นกีตาร์คลาสสิค
รู้สึกว่าจะเล่น เป็นศิษย์เอก ของ Andre Sergovia
ข่าวว่า Sergovia ไม่ปลื้มกับวง Sky อย่างแรง
พาลโกรธศิษย์รักไปเลย
เคยอ่านนานแล้วจำไม่ค่อยได้
John Williams ก็ไม่โปรดพระอาจารย์เหมือนกันครับ อ่านจาก Wikipedia แล้วจะเข้าใจว่าทำไม Segovia ถึงไม่ปลื้มงานแบบ Sky
"I have to say, with the benefit of hindsight, that I dont think he was a good teacher. He didnt tell us what to aim for in the structure. For example, in a Bach suite [...]"[28]
"The general mood in all of his classes was one of great fear. People were frightened because he made such an example of the people who failed and would get angry. Everyone knew that he was happiest when they imitated him."[28]
"and my father was a great teacher... so that was the most important part of my teaching, not with Segovia!" [Segovia] was "a great inspiration for a young person," but "not a good teacher - he was a rather bad teacher. He was very simplistic and authoritarian... it doesn't actually help you as a musician."[29]
"The Segovia gesturesextra vibrato and dwelling on a note or chord at a cadenceis not musical freedom. There has been a tendency among guitar players to think that doing these things for their own sake quite apart from the context of a piece of music as a whole, is in some way expressive. I view them as simply mannerisms[...]"[28] (On the other hand, some reviewers consider John Williams' modern approach as "stiff and standoffish", "prosaic", "seriously constricting the expressive range of his music making", etc.[30])
