dear larry,
will you pls contact me again.
unfortunately I lost my address book and cannot
find our earlier, and very pleasant, correspondence.
I have been assisting a good friend in linares with his biography of andres segovia lately and also some people in montevideo , uruguay.
I dont have any contact whatsoever with emilita
nor with carlos andres, his son, but have good
correspondence with beatriz´s sisters living in montevido.
I have with pleasure listened to your "remembranza", as well as "estudio sin luz"
and "tango"(gardel)
one of my absolute favorites is charlie byrd and would love to listen to some jazzpieces performed by you. where do I find such treasures?
one of my best friends in sweden, is rune gustafsson, you may have heard of him - a jazz guitarist of outstanding qualities.
let me hear from you again, larry!
yours sincerely
lars fagerström

Hello Larry!
A long-lost person from your past! I am so, so pleased to see the success that you've had over the years. You always played from the heart, and clearly from the comments on the site, you still do.
I am a documentary filmmaker these days, and live in Charlotte, NC, with husband, Ray. We've been together 35 years! Hard to believe. If I remember right, he took a portrait of you many years ago.
I am in the middle of producing a feature-length documentary called "Concerto for Two Brothers" about two classical musicians I grew up with in Central Florida. I would love for you to check out the trailer at:

and let me know what you think. You can see my website at www.cristinacassidyproductions.com
It would be great to hear from you.
My best,
Cristina

Hello, Larry!
I studied with you for a few years until a job in New York took me away from the area in 1998. That job fizzled, so now I'm back in Washington. I Googled your name and came upon this very impressive website.
I'll consult your calendar for upcoming concerts. Hope to see you soon.
Best wishes, and happy New Year!

It was good to see you again at the concert on Saturday. Even more incentive to start practicing again.

Glad to hear your thumb injury is healed. Sorry to hear you had a thumb injury.
I stumbled onto a performance of the Ponce Sonata Romantica on the radio a while ago. I immediately knew it wasn't you because so much of the music was being ignored by the performer. Thanks for continually reminding us that the guitar is for music and not just for finger exercises.

dear larry,
this is my third time try!
as I told you before, I was, together with my wife,
beatriz segovia, visiting her father on the costa del sol - los olivos, herradura, almunecar
this was back in1966 and we were all much impressed by your playing classical guitar, already at that early age.
just by a coincidense, I found your web address and said to myself : I will certainly try to get in touch with larry snitzler and see if he remembers our meeting.....
beatriz died in 1967 as you probably know.
cordially yours
lars

dear larry,
this is the second I try to get through.
back in 1966, I believe it was, I had the satisfaction on meeting with you and your father at andres segovia´s residence on the costa del sol, spain.
los olivos...will never forget that place, clost to almunecar/ herradura.
I was then married to andre´s daughter, beatriz, who

I'm going to be studying with Mr. Snitzler in the Fall at GMU. I thought that if I was going to be studying with him, then I could at least check out his website. It's pretty cool, but I'm waiting for that segment where Mr. Snitzler talks about things he's learned along the way. Looking forward to studying with you in the Fall!

I studied with Larry in the very beginning of GMU's guitar program.
Because of Larry I saw Segovia live in the 80's and many others before and since. All including Larry's many concerts I have been privaledged to attend are most cherished memories.
Considering the influence on my now long career in the teaching and entertainment business, yes children you can survive playing a guitar, I don't know what I would have done without Larry.

As another older guy, I too was inspired by Segovia and remember him well from the old Bell Telephone Hour and the Ed Sullivan Show; I do remember seeing the Master Classes on TV and wish I could see them again. I'm a stroke victim and have lost the CG touch but still play for my therapy. Would certainly like to hear you play.

I studied with Larry 10 years ago and have never learned more from another instructor. Larry definitely shaped me as a musician and I'm glad to see he is still making an impact teaching.
Larry, I would love to hear from you and catch up when you have the time. Great website!

My how I miss Larry!
I studied with him last year for about 8 months and he took me from complete beginner to a better beginner. I'm an adult with limited time, and found Larry's teaching style to be exceptional. I told him in all honesty that he is the best teacher I have ever had in any subject.
This man knows his stuff. He's been teaching so long that he has developed essentially his own method. He's so familiar with the works he assigns that he knows all of the little secrets to position and where the student is likely to hit a snag.
Larry - I hope my work situation calms down enough to let me get back to you soon!

Larry,
This is a great site! Connor is so lucky to be able to study with you. We're looking forward to your concert on Feb. 9th.

Larry,
This site is a great homage to an exceptional teacher and musician/performer. Your attention to detail, respect for composers' intentions, and sense of humor has always made lessons an experience, to say the least. Of course, being a direct protege of Master Segovia himself is not half bad either.....
Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Best,
Jarrett

Mr. Snitzler
I am a classical guitarist finishing up at Nova. I have only one class left to take {math} before I transfer into Mason. I studied with Dr. Vigil. I have not had any lessons in almost a year, I need to study with someone because my skills are diminishing, and I need some help. What should I do? I really liked hearing your music on your web site. Brian

Larry--wonderful site, very impressive! Great story on the opening page. As always, I look forward to hearing you play in your inimitable style. Tim H. described it best in this way: "There's the American way, the European, apart from that the French style, and then--Larry!" (We all nod in agreement)
Best Wishes, Gray

Larry,
I really like your site. The bio is very interesting. I think it's great that you lived in Nice. I spent a day there a few years ago - a very lovely place.
I am greatly enjoying studying with you and think that it is really helping my playing. I look forward to seeing you in about a month. Enjoy your summer!

The Paris concert was a wonderful evening. The first time I heard you play, nearly 30 years ago, I suddenly knew what 'plangent' meant and why it was wonderful. Thanks, as ever, for the inspiration, and I look forward to 'la muse s'amusant'.
Such a pleasure to know you're there and to hear you, real and virtual,
all the best,
Stephanie

Ce fût un véritable plaisir votre concert, l'autre jour à Paris, pour mon épouse et pour moi-même. Nous avons été conquis à la fois par la beauté de la musique, la maîtrise et la sensibilité de l'interprétation. Merci pour ces moments exceptionnels et inoubliables.
On attend avec impatience votre prochaine prestation à Paris.

Mr. Snitzler,
WOW! You've always talked about doing this. I'm glad you finally did! You are such an inspiration to talk to. I am sad that I'm no longer at Mason to drop by and chat, but am comforted by the fact that Chris will still be tied to you, so I'm sure to see you around! Take care.

O the wistful evenings listening to the unique sound of the classical guitar- so many years ago in Southern California. Even way back then when we were both just minnows our friendship flourished. Then Spain, the East Coast and Paris. And now, so many plans for the future! Quelle Vie!! A lovely and friendly site, Bravo Dana

Love the comment about "remembering the first time I heard the guitar". To me, that typifies your brand of music-making on the guitar and I long to hear you play live, near me, again, Larry. And we shall achieve that, too. Wish you all success with everything you do. Best of everything to you. Gilbert.
