Re: Sor Op 60 No 16 November 10, 2021 I haven't updated this one in a while, so I practiced it a bit and recorded it again. As always, there are small things I’d change, but I'm feeling pretty confident about it now.

Re: Villa Lobos Prelude No 5 @Ron Thanks so much, Ron. Yes, I've seen Raphael Feuillatre's video of it too - so emotional! He also plays the C section ridiculously fast (and yes, I'm really jealous).

Re: Carulli Larghetto in G minor Op 192 @Derek I'm not sure that is going to happen. My wife already said that I may not be getting any presents for a few years!

Re: Carulli Larghetto in G minor Op 192 @Derek Thanks, Derek. I'd be up for it! He has so many pieces at a variety of playing levels. I'd love to be able to play Carulli on a period instrument. I think it gives his music a lot more charm.

Re: Villa Lobos Prelude No 5 @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise! Thankfully, I never have any deadlines for anything I play as I never play for anyone but myself. I hope I can play it for the concert, though.…

Re: Carulli Larghetto in G minor Op 192 @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. Carulli wrote a massive amount of music (not just for guitar) and some of it is a bit pedestrian. Still, he has lots of gems like this one!

Carulli Larghetto in G minor Op 192

Re: Nora's practice diary Atahualpa Yupanqui This is great, Nora! I have never heard this music, nor have I ever heard of the composer. Can you tell me anything about him? It's very evocative and (like you said) nostalgic music.

Re: Yoda's order @don Really good work, Don. I haven't played either one, but they both look to be very challenging for the left hand. Your hand movements look very agile and fluid. Such beautiful, lush music!
