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,…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three 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.

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 @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.…
