Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three
@Steve Price These are both beautiful and totally new to me. I especially like the melancholy character of the cancion.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three
Lauro - Armida Here is the first piece in the Lauro triptych I have been working on. It took me a while to settle on a fingering I liked. I'd like to get it memorized,…

Aguado - Contredanses 4, 5, and 6 from Opus 8 When I first read through these, I thought there were rather dull. The more I played them, however, the more enjoyable they became.

Lauro - Madrugada and La Negra As most of you know, I have been working on La Negra since the beginning of this challenge. This past week, however, I learned that La Negra is part of a triptych.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@joosje All three of these were such a joy to listen to, Joosje! You play with such a great sense of the dance rhythms. I imagine the last one would be even more difficult to play with a capo,…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Steve Price Very nice, Steve! I don't hear the similarity to Bach (due to my own musical shortcomings, no doubt), but I did enjoy it.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@joosje I was able to find lute tablatures for two of these three pieces by Vallet. Take a look, if you're interested. Obviously, the 3rd string needs to be lowered a half-step.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Jack Stewart That looks so difficult for both hands (but especially the left), so kudos for just being able to play it. I would love to be able to play more Chopin like this.

@joosje Again, so beautiful! The Branle has some pep to it, and you played the rhythms very crisply. As usual, the Sarabande seems like the heart of the cycle, and it is such a tender melody.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Steve Price Another very enjoyable piece. Thanks for the bit of historical background on the man. I always appreciate knowing a little bit of what a composer has experienced and overcome.

@joosje That is gorgeous, Joosje! You really captured the aesthetic of the period. I only wish it were longer.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I’ll gone your suggestion a try. The Aguado opus is certainly no masterpiece, but it’s fun and has a very dance-like character.

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey?
@Marc Adler That sounds great, but I would love it if someone else leads that. Bach's Chaconne is far beyond my playing level, so I would prefer not to work on it.…

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey?
@Steve Price For me it was his album 20th Century Guitar, which had many of the same pieces. I remember playing that at almost full volume in my car (on a cassette tape!) during college.…

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey?
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Yes, it's hard not to love that piece. If someone has never really listened to the classical guitar, there are not too many better things to play for them.…
