How Music Works

Marcin Patrzalek

Marcin Patrzalek is a 25-year-old percussive guitar-playing wizard from Poland who started to play classical guitar at the age of ten. He performs the most astonishing arrangements of classical pieces such as Beethoven’s Fifth on a solo guitar, no effects added. He is now under contract with Sony Masterworks and is only beginning a great career.

“How Music Works” is a piece performed to show critics and doubters that indeed it is possible to produce mind-boggling effects from just one guitar played with supremacy.
