Sergio Assad's composition reflects the role of the artist in expressing feelings about the current international political environment through music, allowing for a nuanced exploration of complex issues without taking a definitive side.

Sergio Assad immerses himself in the cultural context of his compositions, studying traditional music and instruments, such as the PIPA, to authentically capture their essence in his work.

In the second movement titled 'Hadrian's Wall', Sergio Assad evokes the Roman essence with a sound reminiscent of a Ben Hur soundtrack, incorporating elements that imitate bagpipe music.

The Assad brothers have significantly influenced the guitar ensemble realm and have brought a lot of new repertoire to the instrument.

Sergio Assad's third movement, 'Berlin Wall', combines twelve-tone composition with Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy', reflecting on the historical significance of the Berlin Wall's fall.

I commissioned Sergio Assad to write a piece titled 'The Walls' for solo guitar and guitar orchestra, which portrays four historic barriers: the Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall, the Berlin Wall, and the Israeli West Bank Barrier.

Segovia was humble about his own compositions, often downplaying their significance compared to his arrangements.

It's important to recognize that different styles of music, even if they don't align with classical guitar, can coexist without detracting from it.

Many people forget how beautiful Segovia's original compositions can be, as he is often known for his arrangements.
