La Donna Infelice Guitarra 5.1
The title of the work means “The Unhappy Woman” in Italian. The title was chosen to highlight the melancholic tone of the piece. It’s 3 minutes and 59 seconds of solo acoustic classical guitar work in the Latino style. The piece was totally improvised, without any sort of preparation beforehand; it’s the sole recording of the work. The guitar was made in Spain; the name of the brand is Alhambra.

You can see a close-up of the performer playing the instrument in black and white video footage, with a painting hanging behind him on the wall, and small glimpses of others, during the full duration of the performance.
The performer himself is a male, of about fifty years old. He’s bald, he’s wearing a black jersey, and he’s looking like a kind of the Mediterranean type of humanoid species.
The last very short (just one second) image of the video is the apparition of a set of paintings in color, this time hanging on some other wall.
