Chad Ibison Plays Unruhe by Mertz

ByBradford Werner
2023

Chad Ibison performs Unruhe from Bardenklänge, Op.13 by Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) on a 2023 Vladimir Druzhinin classical guitar. This comes via Guitar Salon Internatio n al and their YouTube channel. Great performance by Ibison with nice contrasts between extroverted and intimate sections along with excellent Romantic phrasing.

Sheet Music: If your interested I have an edition and lesson for this work which you can find here: Unruhe by Mertz (lesson and PDF).
