Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Jack Stewart Yes, Marcello's performance is ridiculously virtuosic, but yours was very good too, and far better than I have ever been able to play this.

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Jack Stewart Excellent, Jack! I do really like this study, too. Like Nijwm said, it's similar to the more famous Op 35 No 22, but not played nearly as often, which I like.

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! Andante Op 60 No 13 I know I said that yesterday would be my last post for the challenge, but I heard a recording yesterday that inspired me. It’s by Marcello Fantoni,…

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! Two Menuets (Op 24 No 1 and 6) I think I’ll make this my last post for this challenge. I was able to bring the tempo of number 6 up a bit.

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Jack Stewart Yes, Steve didn’t follow through on his offer. I wanted a Lacote for that tuning. It’s pretty disappointing, frankly.

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack! I was thinking of giving those chords full-on flamenco rasgueados with golpes, but that would probably be a little out of character for Sor (just a little).…

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Jack Stewart These are spectacular, Jack! With all of your usual self-deprecation, you tried to lower our expectations, but I knew better. These are two of Sor's best studies,…

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Steve Pederson I didn't know you had all of those guitars, just hoping! I assume cases are included in your free offer? Maybe an extra set of strings and a tuner?…

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Steve Pederson I so promise! Shall I send you a shipping address? I'd like a Romanillos, a Hauser, a Torres, a Panormo, and a Lacote. I will absolutely keep them all tuned differently if that makes…

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! @Blaise Laflamme This is so great, Blaise! There is something about your sound and phrasing on this one that just sounds very authentic to the period. I could listen to music like this all day long.

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!! Menuet Andantino Lento Op 24 No 1 Nov 28 I feel like I have a better musical handle on this piece now, after practicing it for a few days. As short as it is, it really hurts my left hand to play.
