@Luciano Salvatore What a great piece of music. I haven’t seen the score, but it seems pretty challenging. I might do the Sarabande from BWV 997 if I have time.

@joosje Thanks, Joosje. Up a fifth will go up quite high. I look forward to hearing you play it. You can't go wrong with David Russell.

@Derek Thanks, Derek. I found transcriptions of it mostly in A major, but this one in G major seems a more natural fit to me.

@Wai Thanks, Wai. Honestly, I think this piece is only a little more difficult than pieces you have submitted, so you're not far off from being able to play this.

Re: Gaspar Sanz - Folias
That was excellent, Wai! Again, your sound and clean execution are so great. All those slurred ornaments are not easy to do at all. I really enjoy listening to you play Sanz.

Re: READ ME: The Month of J.S.Bach! 🌊
