“Profound and moving!” (Thomas Lahusen, Canada Research Chair in History, Arts and Culture at the University of Toronto, Chemodan Films)
“Beautiful. Frautschi the person (and the film) gets to the core of what matters in all of art, not just in music. The interweaving of interviews, the performances, and Frautschi’s own words all work to create a web of emotional understanding that elegantly prepare the viewer to finally receive his 10 types of memories. This will be an inspiration not only for musicians but for all artists.” (Leighton Pierce, Filmmaker, University of Iowa)
"A fascinating glimpse into the world of one of the great musical pedagogues of the 20th century." (John Schneiderman, Director, Guitar & Lute Studies, University of California, Irvine)
"Very nicely done! A strong statement." (Hopkinson Smith, Lutenist, Schola Cantorum Basilensis)
"The film by Timofeyev shows, through sober and involving narrative, the figure of a great man who, on his dacha, taught the art of the guitar as a discipline that is examplary and valid for the whole sphere of existence."
