@Ron I love it, Ron! I've never played any of her pieces, but whenever I hear them, I am really impressed. It's such a beautiful melody, and you bring it out very nicely above the texture below.

@Debbie Great detailed work, Debbie! I must say, I really love that guitar. I played this piece for my senior recital way back in 1991, but I still remember how hard that E major section is.…

@Michael Shirk I find your analysis to be engaging and very insightful. There are a lot of really great things going on in this study. String damping is a real weakness of mine,…

@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary I've never played the whole study, but I have worked with that opening scale run. Like Blaise, I think it's great to use open strings for it.
