Re: Villa Lobos Prelude No 5
@Barney Thanks so much, Barney. It’s nice when the memorization just happens without even having to focus on it.

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: Carulli Larghetto in G minor Op 192
November 10, 2021 Here's an update of this piece. I'm playing it at a slightly quicker tempo, which I like. I have added more dynamics, change in tone color, and rubato.…

@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).

@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

I came across a performance of this piece on YouTube by Nicola Jappelli that I really love, so I thought I'd try to work on it myself. The score is attached.…

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!

Re: Lute Advice
@joosje Thanks again, Joosje. I'm beginning to see that if I want to play the lute seriously, I'll probably have to take a bit of a break from guitar. If nothing else,…
