Re: Guess the Composer @Andre Bernier Thanks for chiming in, Andre! Those are indeed the correct pieces for the second and fourth videos. The names you listed, of course, are the performers on these particular recordings,…

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Steve Pederson Thanks Steve. Sor is often called the “Beethoven of the guitar” (in fact, Manuel Barrueco even has an album of Sor’s music with that title), but just for fun, I was reversing them.…

Re: Guess the Composer @Giuseppe Gasparini Thank you, Giuseppe. I think maybe a written response would work better than a video for those questions. As for me making difficult pieces seem easy,…

Re: Guess the Composer @Giuseppe Gasparini Thank you for the kind words, Giuseppe. I would be happy to share a few thoughts. Can you explain what you mean by "how you approach the studio"?…

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Jack Stewart Personally, I like to refer to Beethoven as “the Sor of the piano”. Joking aside, I just listened to the first movement of that piano sonata.…

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Jack Stewart Thank you, Jack. I have listen to Savigni’s version of this many times, and I love it, probably my favorite of those I have found on YT. And it’s on a real LaCote, too!

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Steve Pederson Sounds great, Steve! I look forward to hearing it all together. I think you can now put "Transcriptionist" on your resumé.
