Re: Week 1: Exploring New Territories
Gol-e-Gandome (May 20) Here is an update on this Afshar arrangement of a Persian ballad. I am playing it without a score here, but the mistakes show that I need to work still on the memorization.…

Re: Week 1: Exploring New Territories
@Eva Grill Great choice, and welcome! The nice thing about a theme and variations is that if any of the variations are too difficult, you can just do the others and still have a nice performance.

Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale 🎉

Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale 🎉

Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale 🎉
@joosje Thank you, Joosje! As much as I love Sor, I actually have nothing of his committed to my long-term memory. For some reason, Tarrega and Villa-Lobos are much easier for me to retain.

Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale 🎉
@Blaise Laflamme Been there done that! And just like Brandon said, I couldn't get a good sound, so I grew them back. I guess I need more patience and to change my technique if I go that route.…
