Classical Guitar - Performance

Performance

Main article: Classical guitar technique

The modern classical guitar is usually played in a seated position, with the instrument resting on the left lap - and the left foot placed on a footstool. Alternatively - if a footstool is not used - a guitar support can be placed between the guitar and the left lap (the support usually attaches to the instrument's side with suction cups). (There are of course exceptions, with some performers choosing to hold the instrument another way.)

Famous quotes containing the word performance:

    “Kind are her answers,
    But her performance keeps no day;
    Breaks time, as dancers,
    From their own music when they stray.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    “Still be kind,
    And eke out our performance with your mind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
