This guy's worked out a way to get some of that range without transposition.

Clair de Lune | James Bishop-Edwards
. Both are REALLY tough but beautifully arranged. I've wanted to be able to play this forever but the stretches are beyond me to play cleanly-ha ha.

Wow
Phenomenonal
That section at 1.10 ..... how is that even possible
The double octave thing , beautiful
Ps is the whole guitar tuned down a semitone ?
-
wow, that IS amazing. I mean, I laughed out loud several times, not derisively, but in that complete sense of delight that only something like this can bring.
She's great, just complete command. so who is she? who'd she study with? I mean, it's kind of weird to run across something at this level that you never heard of, you'd think there'd be a Naxos or GSP disc or something, not just a clip or two buried in the dross of youtube. Searches just turn up the same two clips.

David................. Kozo is cheating its much easier with eleven strings.
Jokes aside both players are marvelous

and then there is this one.
ya, off topic.
but she is really great

This is another nice arrangement of Clair De Lune that is suitable for us mere mortals. Arrangement is by Bridget Mermikides. Classical Guitar Compendium Volume 1

Some serious cheating going on here: Or is it even more challenging to work as part of a seamless duo?

Her posture with the guitar and her right hand technique are unusual. Not that this seems to hold her back in any way! She holds it like she is dancing with it. Very emotive music.

Great thread,
I've had this piece on my to-do list for some time. To explore it and see if it was possible to make it sound good on guitar.
I like to do my own transcriptions and "Clair de Lune" is obviously a challange because of the wide range and the tight intervals.
I listen to a piano recording, bar by bar and try out different finger arrangements to make it sound true...and this piece sounds fantastic on guitar and is great fun! Progress is good so far...
This thread was the kick start I needed, thanks guys.
(By the way, the cello position is also good for the right hand, that gets in a natural relaxed position. A boat anchor Les Paul is perfect, because it naturally gravitates to the cello position and the small body rests comfortably in the lap. Try it.)

I play 6-strings only, when I feel brave enough some day I may try one more string...

Mission completed! I've used Martin Jones Piano recording (Nimbus Records) for reference. Now I shall document and practice and eventually record it...
-
Just amazing. Thanks for posting.

That was great! Beautiful tone and performance
