Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Spare Machine That is definitely a "Giuliani-ism" (though he's not the only one, of course).

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Blaise Laflamme Yes he is. On his website I found a promotional video for the album, and it definitely was a period instrument he was playing. His meticulous attention to detail is astounding,…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Dale Needles You're right, Sor might be getting jealous! I've got plenty of Sor that I've begun but never finished, so we'll see how it goes.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. It’s a surprising one for him, for sure. He must have been feeling depressed or anxious when he wrote it. I also wonder why he chose rosemary for that particular piece.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Spare Machine Good work, Mark, it's much improved again. I have a few thoughts about what I saw: You are mixing in some rest strokes, which is very good for this music,…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! Giuliani – Le Jasmin Op 46 No 4 (July 8 update) I tried not only to play this more accurately, but also to add more musicality (dynamics, tone color, tempo, etc.). It’s fun to play!
