Denis Schmitz plays Montana
EN Montana was the very first solo piece that I wrote and originally was part of a three piece Suite which I composed during my Masters studies at Wuppertal. The other two movements, however, are not longer part of my concerts, so from now on it will be a separate composition. While writing this piece, I tried to blend some techniques of the Fingerstylegenre, like tapping and a good amount of percussion, with the typical sound of american guitar orientated music. I wrote Montana in just about 20 minutes, something I have actually never managed since. Among other influences, you can definitely hear some reminiscences of the great and outstanding jazz pianist Keith Jarrett. DE
