“The Body is a lyre whose harmony is the spirit” (Plato).

The guitar, like all musical instruments, is played through the succession of certain precise movements, whose mission is to “remove the music from the present,” allowing it to truly exist in time. Therefore, in musical praxis the bodily activity of the performer is essential and must be taken into consideration when exploring the different technical solutions that aim to respond to the increasingly demanding interpretive demands.

The constructive innovations that the Spanish guitar has experienced throughout history – especially since the mid-19th century with the works of Antonio Torres jury – together with the weight of the “heritage” of the great performers of music and academic conventions about the appropriate way to move our body, have conditioned important transformations in the interpretive technique.
