Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
Moving on to potential future study groups .... I second the opinion that maybe we should try some Villa-Lobos, especially one of his easier preludes. As much as I love Bach,…

@martin : Thanks so much for the help and the explanation on the Brouwer 9 passage. I can see that you are very familiar with all of the Estudios. I loved this particular livestream,…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
I just started working on Thomas Fellow's Medusa, and every bar is tricky. But for a more manageable thing ... In measures 11 and 12 of Brouwer's Estudio No.…

I am watching day 2 of the ICAC competition. Everyone playing is so great! I feel inspired to practice more. The only comment that I have is that I wish there were newer compositions being played.…

Re: Study Group Zoom Check-In
I am really looking forward to this. I have just gotten to the point where I have memorized the piece. As you get older, you find that it takes more time to memorize a piece,…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks for the good advice, Blaise. I am taking chunks at a time and trying to drill them into my hands. My goal for the Bach is 4 new measures every day (if I am not interrupted).…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
Just curious about how you all are learning the piece. Are you going through the piece a few measures at a time, trying to memorize it and burn the fingerings into your muscle memory?…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@David I have not gotten up to that part of the piece. When I do, I will let you know. Working my way through the first ten measures now.

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
I thought that this might be of interest to some folks. Douglas Niedt goes over different fingerings for the Prelude. https://douglasniedt.com/fabulouspreludeindminor.html

Re: What was the last concert you attended?

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
So, already some controversy!!! For the 'A' which occurs on the 3rd beat of the first measure, the Apke transcription says to use the '4' finger in the LH, but the Bustos video uses the '2' finger.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
Boy oh boy .... this one is going to be a doozy. I have never played this piece, and it very well could be beyond my current level. But I will give it the good old college try.…

Re: What’s the Most Unusual Piece You’ve Played or Heard?
Has Brian Ferneyhough written anything for guitar? If so, it is bound to be one of the strangest and most difficult pieces to play.

Re: Request: Complete Performances for Tutorials
@martin Danke, Martin. Is this a new lesson? Or is this an older lesson that just does not appear when I search for "Morel" (where, in that case, some of the metadata might be wrong)?
