Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme

@Dale Needles Thanks, Dale! I see you have your Carlevaro radar turned on. I appreciate that recording a lot. It's very different than Desiderio's interpretation, but beautifully done.

Re: Week 3: Let's hear it 🎥
Torroba - Burgalesa (Aug 20) I came across a recording of this by Aniello Desiderio that I loved, so I decided to try to play it. There's no particular connection to the Llobet arrangements I've been…

Re: Week 2: What's on your music stand? 🎶
@Steve Price Thanks, Steve. That’s good feedback. Llobet’s arrangement is with just single notes in those spots, but I heard a few players (ex. Pepe Romero) who went with the octaves.…

Llobet - El Mestre (Aug 12) I had some time this morning, so I decided to go ahead and make a dolled up version of this, and I will probably make it my last post of the piece.

@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Thanks, Nijwm, and yes, the section with the melody in the bass is the coolest section, no doubt! It's so fun to dig in with the thumb.

@Blaise Laflamme We too have a dog, and have experienced the loss of several pets. It is very difficult and even disorienting.
