New Music Video: Torija by Federico Moreno Torroba


Torija by Federico Moreno Torroba

Dear Reader,

I’m very happy to share a new musical video with you today — Torija by Federico Moreno Torroba, one of the pieces from his beautiful Castles of Spain suite. 🎶

video preview

I first discovered this piece many years ago through my students. It stayed somewhere on my list of “pieces I’d love to learn one day” for quite a while. Then, about a year ago, I came across it again — and suddenly felt that the time had come. ✨

What I love about Torija is its incredible atmosphere: the combination of softness and inner strength, the contrasts, and the many different ways you can approach and interpret it. There is so much depth in this relatively short piece, and I feel it can find a wonderful place in any guitarist’s repertoire.

I’m especially happy that Torija will also be the piece we’ll work with in the second edition of 🚀 Guitar Mastery Series, where we’ll use it to explore the whole learning process — not just learning this particular piece, but learning how to learn music.

I’m currently learning another piece from the Castles of Spain suite as well, and I have a feeling these two will make a beautiful pair. ❤️

So, for now, I simply hope you enjoy the music and let it sink in.

Enjoy! 🎶✨

Warm greetings,

Tatyana
