Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @joosje Thank you, Joosje! I do like d minor! D major is very nice, too. Bb major? Not too sure, but I’ll do my best.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Spare Machine Oh, I see it now! I was watching on my phone, and it looked like there was no video at all. Guess it’s time to go see the eye doctor!

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Jack Stewart This is awesome, Jack! I’m so glad you’re coming back to one of your own pieces. I’ll be honest, when I look back to both of Ashley’s composition challenges,…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Spare Machine Definitely some improvement there! For some reason, I have sound but no video on this, so I cannot see what fingers you’re using for the harmonics,…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Thank you, Nijwm. I prefer to stay just an amateur - that way I can play only what I want! And there is no need for any fear (let alone trepidation) here.…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! Barrios – País de Abanico I think I started working on this during the “Music from Latin America” challenge over a year ago. I was really getting into some Barrios,…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! Giuliani – Le Rose Op 46 No 9 (July 6 update) Not much difference from yesterday, really. Maybe a couple fewer mistakes. I pretty much have it memorized,…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Wai You could definitely handle several of the opus 46 pieces. Opus 50 has many easier pieces that are well within your grasp.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. I don't know those pieces well enough, but I'm sure you are correct. The similarities I hear come from his shorter pieces (which I have actually played).

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Jack Stewart Wow! Try as I may, I cannot get the whole thing in under 5 minutes. You are obviously a virtuoso, Jack.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @David Krupka Thanks, David. I just love playing this so much. Analyzing the piece a bit, I do see many "Giuliani-isms" in it, but you're right, the overall affect of the piece is not what I have…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @joosje Oh, Joosje, those are two of the finest pieces in the repertoire. I really look forward to hearing you play either of them, or even a part of one of them.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces! @Spare Machine This is a good start, Mark. The most important aspect of it is already strong, and that is your sound. You make the notes sing nicely, with a very "period" sounding vibrato.…

Re: Carcassi Mini Challenge @Curtis Breslin Definitely. Opus 60 number 2 is much easier than number 1. Next in difficulty I’d say is number 6, as long as you take it slowly. After that, I’d go with number 4,…
