Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest

Gran Vals I've removed the repeats for this. Also made some changes to the fingerings. I think it is getting a bit better. Need to work on the slurs in section 2 where it sounded a bit too metallic.โฆ

Gymnopedie No 1 section 1 Apparently it means an annual festival where man dance unarmed and naked. But doesn't sound like a happy festival if Satie had this mind when he composed it.โฆ

@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.
