Re: SUGGESTED Etude Selections (Op. 35) - Click Here for Some Inspiration!
I love No. 13 (although Op. 31 No 2 is my real Sor favorite - wish there were a video lesson on it) - I used to practice some of these from a Noad anthology (100 Graded...…

Re: Annotations to your music
I have never annotated my music. My early teachers never did it for me, so I did not even realize it is a common practice. I will start doing that to indicate fingerings where I need them.…

Re: Welcome to tonebase!
