Yippeee! Today is the start of the Koblenz guitar festival.
Together with Iserlohn and Nürtingen (that one a biennial festival – every 2 years) it’s one of the world’s best classical guitar festivals.

Everyone’s playing the K208 Scarlatti!
I like Brouwer’s performance of the piece.
In fact: Eden seems to be taking his inspiration from Brouwer’s playing as well! 🙂
