overtone singing in some works, such as Domeniconi's Hommage à Jimi Hendrix, op. 52. Facial Gestures Pavel Steidl often uses unique gestures during his performances (both facial gestures, and motions with hands and body). Perception Some people feel that Steidl's gestures give an additional dimension to his playing, e.g. showing his expressive involvement in the music, being a personal way of helping his phrasing become lyrical (with voice-gestures - using the guitar, but "expressing like a singer"), serving to underline certain melodies and their character, or hinting at crescendo in held chords (even though the strings' vibrations are getting softer), expressing fun/joy, entertaining, etc. Recordings Luigi Legnani - 36 caprices op. 20, Fantasia op. 19 - Naxos 1998 / Cat.8.554198 Napoleon Coste - Guitar Music Vol.3 - Naxos 2000 / Cat.8.554353 N.
