@Derek Sounds good, Derek! I love this piece. It's like a delicate little bite of something really delicious. (I hope that doesn't sound too weird!)

Schumann Berceuse (trans. Tarrega) I was reading through this piece from the files Martin gave us, and it seemed pretty playable. Then I hit this short section in F# minor on page 2 that just seemed…

@Martin Thanks, Martin! I am no purveyor of fine cellists, but I do really like Inbal Segev's version. She also has a great masterclass about the piece on YT.

@Paul Kennedy Thanks, Paul. The Prelude is really rockin’! I love the Sarabande the most, which is almost always the case for me.

Bach Sarabande (BWV 1012) So, when does this challenge start? Ahh, never mind! I thought I'd kick this thing off with perhaps the most transcribed composer of all time.…

Re: Sor Op 21 Les Adieux
@Nora Torres-Nagel Thank you, Nora. No, I am not a professional, just an enthusiastic amateur. I have definitely fallen in love with Sor's music. I played very little of him until this past year,…

Re: Sor Op 21 Les Adieux
Measures 55-68 (December 30, 2021) This section is more challenging for me. In the left hand, the voicing of the B7 (first inversion) in measures 56 and 60 is pretty difficult.…

Measures 44-54 (December 30, 2021) Like the opening measures, this section is marked by sharp dynamic contrasts (f-p-f-p etc.). Nothing too challenging here,…

Measures 22-43 Andante (December 29, 2021) Again, this is fairly straightforward technically. It's in G major, but takes a few twists and turns using secondary dominants (typical of Sor).…

Measures 1-21 Andante Largo (December 29, 2021) This is a rather somber introduction to the piece. Nothing too tricky here. It starts out with block chords and stark dynamic contrasts.…

Structural Analysis This is a fantasia, so the structure is a bit looser than most of Sor's works. That said, there are some pretty clear sectional divisions. Here's my breakdown: A.…

Re: Sor Op 21 Les Adieux
December 28, 2021 Here is a read-through of the piece. It's a bit long, so I understand if you'd rather do something (anything) else than watch it all, as my playing is not too good yet.

Sor Op 21 Les Adieux
I obviously love the music of Fernando Sor, but I haven't yet played any of his longer pieces. I thought this might be a good one to start with, as it seems within my technical abilities.…

Re: 20 Sor Studies (Segovia)
Study 8 measures 10-17 slow practice I'm coming back to this study after a few days break. The middle section is still very hard for me to execute, so I am going to slow it WAY down until I can do…

December 27, 2021 (after practice) It's starting to come together. I'm hoping to have it memorized soon, so I can take my eyes away from the music. That will make the shifting a lot easier.…
