Re: Week 1: A Guitar has Six Strings, Right? @Emmanuel Thank you, Emmanuel! I just listened to his performance of this Sarabande. Incredible! The longing quality of the music just pours out of every note he plays.

Re: Week 1: A Guitar has Six Strings, Right? 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…

Re: Week 1: A Guitar has Six Strings, Right? @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.

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.…
