“Along the Street/I Walked on the Flowers“ by Mikhail Vysotsky

“Along the Street/I Walked on the Flowers“ by Mikhail Vysotsky performed by John Schneiderman on a Russian guitar. I have been exploring the Russian guitar music of Mikhail Vysotsky recently. His works are almost exclusively theme and variations. I have chosen twenty-one pieces to work on and my colleague Oleg Timofeyev (the world’s leading authority on the Russian guitar) has kindly been coaching me. These are all works in progress and I decided to video some of my attempts. This is the same theme used by Fernando Sor in his duet “Souvenirs of Russia“.
