Study 2 (November 28, 2021) Here's an update after a couple of days practice. I think it still needs work in the trouble spots, and I'd like to add more musicality to it.

Study 2 (November 26, 2021) This one has a pretty melody on top with an Alberti bass underneath. I've heard it played quite fast, but I really prefer it at a slower tempo.…

Re: 20 Sor Studies (Segovia)
Study 1 (November 24, 2021 later) After about an hour of practice, I really think there is a big improvement, so I'm posting an update already. I know, I'm strange! 🤪

Re: 20 Sor Studies (Segovia)
Study 1 (November 24, 2021) This one is all about legato and voice leading. I've read through it before, but I never really worked on it in a focused way.…

20 Sor Studies (Segovia)

@Derek jokingly indicated to me that it almost seems like I am doing all of Sor's studies. That put the idea in my head - why not try to do all twenty in Segovia's collection?…

Re: Sor Op 60 No 23
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I think you might mean the chromatically descending sixths in bar 3? Yes, it reminds me of a cliche blues riff. Sor was really ahead of his time! 😀

Re: Derek - Tatiana Stachak Introduction to the Waltz
Those were great, Derek! So glad you are back playing again. I think I’ve heard of her before. Maybe Matthew MacAllister played something by her on his YT channel? If you hadn’t said who wrote those,…

Sor Op 60 No 23

I'm continuing to work my way through Sor's Opus 60, and I'd like to stop at this wonderful piece for a bit. Although I had heard this one before, I don't remember ever playing it.…
