Schubert - Standchen (arr. Mertz) May 13 I have always loved Mertz' arrangements of six songs by Schubert. But, when I try to actually play them, they seem to turn to mud in my hands.…

Re: 🌍 Where in the world are you tuning in from?
I'm from Rochester, NY, USA. I have played guitar since 1982, classical since 1988. Just finishing up Ponce's Chanson (from Sonata III), and barely started Schubert's Standchen (arr. Mertz).

@Bart Versteeg Another great one, and I don't recall ever hearing it before. I haven't played it, but this strikes me as particularly challenging for the right hand.

@Bart Versteeg That was excellent, Bart! Sor has so many of these lesser-known opuses that are really great. I love the snappy rhythm, the left hand leaps, and the color changes you incorporated.…

@joosje I love this Passacaglia! I first heard it on a recording by Christopher Parkening, and so I always associate it with him. Maybe after this challenge, though, I will associate it with you!…

@martin It looks like you are split between the light and dark side here, Martin. Don't give in to hate! The lure of evil is deceptive! 😄 If you go the wrong way, can we call you Darth Martin?
