Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles
@Eric Phillips wonderful as usual. This sounds great as it is. My teacher was telling me that HVL often doesn't always follow his own repeats when he performs too.

@Jack Stewart well done! I don't think is simple at all. it looks like a really difficult arrangement with really awkward positions. It is always difficult to play a transcription especially fromโฆ

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations
@Andre Bernier I might give the strap a try again. It just feels very unstable to me. But to be fair I had never gave it a fair try too.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations
@Andre Bernier nice start. Did you install the strap yourself? How does it compare to playing in standard position?
