Re: Carcassi Mini Challenge Andantino Grazioso (Op 5 No 5) I found this piece in one of my Frederick Noad anthologies, and I kind of like it, so I thought I’d record it.

Re: Carcassi Mini Challenge Study 5 update (June 28) Here is an update after a couple days of practice. I’m fairly happy with the result, although it probably should be a bit faster.

Re: Carcassi Mini Challenge Carcassi – Moderato Op 60 No 5 (June 26) When I saw this mini-challenge posted, I thought I’d like to play something I have never played before. My first thought was to go outside of his famous opus…

Re: Group 1 Hello Arturo. I know it’s the last day today, so you might not see this. I’m sorry, but I just watched your last video now. Thank you so much for all of your incredible advice!…

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @JUAN ALONSO I thought it would be tiring too, but I haven’t found it to be so. My hand gets much more fatigued by many barres.

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @David Krupka Thanks, David. You may be right about number 22. I simply like the sound better when I ignore the slur markings. One edition I have (ed. Grimes) does just that.…

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @Dale Needles Outstanding, Dale! It does remind me of the Garcia de Leon piece. You execute those slurs very nicely.

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @joosje I am in heaven listening to you play so much Sor! I particularly enjoyed the second piece in the second video - it is seldom played, but such a great composition.

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @Marilyn Blodget Yes, it seems like something from Pumping Nylon. I have to say, it doesn’t really tire my hand out a lot to play it, like Cavatina would.

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @Barney Don’t confuse playing a lot of Sor with being a “Sor master”. Like I said, I avoid most of his upper level pieces, especially fast ones like this. Your playing here is just outstanding.

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @Barney Excellent, Barney. I noticed how you cleverly got up to the fifth position before the A minor barre chord. Did you come up with that yourself?

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @Barney Wow! This one is so difficult I have always avoided it. Great playing. I love the moment in the middle when it slows down, and then the opening comes back at full speed.

Re: Week 3: Melodic Meanderings! @Marilyn Blodget Beautiful, Marilyn! I was wondering if you had forgotten to post a video. Great idea to dampen the F#. Very effective.
