Re: Week 2: Sharing the Journey 🌟
@leonfazulin Incredible, Leon! May I ask how long you have been working on this? I assume it was prior to the beginning of this challenge, since you already have it memorized.

Re: Week 2: Sharing the Journey 🌟
@JUAN ALONSO Good work, Juan. I have given this a try a few times. What I find most challenging is playing a mix of fretted notes this high on the neck and open strings.…

@don What a great choice, Don! I heard this video from Tariq Harb the day he posted it, and I thought, "This is a piece worth working on." It is sounding good already. Great work.…

Re: Week 3: Gaining Momentum 🚀
@Steve Price Boy, I love hearing these, Steve! What a discovery pieces are. This one sounds modal and rather plaintive to me.

@joosje You sound displeased with this, but I think it sounds absolutely wonderful, Joosje! The dynamic range you display is so effective and engaging. I enjoyed listening to it a lot.

Re: Week 2: Sharing the Journey 🌟
Sor – Le Calme Op 50 Sections A, B, C, and part of D I thought I’d make a recording of the entire piece up to the point I have been practicing. At the time of my last submission,…

@Michael Shirk It's definitely getting there, Michael! You already have the feel for the music, which is the heart of the piece. The rest is just details! 👋💪

Re: Week 2: Sharing the Journey 🌟
@Vilio Celli Very nice, Vilio! This piece is quite a big challenge, but judging by this start, I think you're up to it. Another piece I have on my list of pieces to play someday.

Re: Week 2: Sharing the Journey 🌟
@Steve Price Good job, Steve. It does have a folk dance feel to it, like you said. If I heard this without knowing who wrote it, I don't think I would have ever guessed Stravinsky (not that I am very…

Re: Week 2: Sharing the Journey 🌟
@Steve Price Thanks, Steve. I agree with you completely about Sor's surprises. He has surprising destinations, but he always gets there in a way that "follows the rules.…

@Andre Bernier Very nice, Andre. The recording quality is a bit better this time. The picks give a good sound, but I do think I prefer the sound of nails.…

Sor – Le Calme Op 50 C section For the last few days, I have mainly been practicing the A and B sections, trying to make them more fluid. But tonight, I finally started working on the C section,…

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start 🌻

Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start 🌻
@martin Wonderful choice, Martin, and glad to see (and hear) you join! I think Altamira recently put out a video of Aniello Desiderio playing this and sharing some of his thoughts about the piece.
