Re: Week 2: Technique Tango! @Wai We think we own our cats, but in truth, they own us! (Actually, I don't currently have any cats, but I have had plenty in the past. I currently have a dog, or I should say, my dog has me.)

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @JUAN ALONSO Love it, Juan! This whole opus is spectacular, and number six is a great show piece. My favorite version of it is by Pavel Steidl- I love the tone colors and flourishes he adds.

Re: 4 Pieces I am Taking to The GFA Conference in NYC ( for private lessons I am taking there). @Jack Stewart So good, Jack! I have attempted this piece many times, but always give up once I see how difficult it is. I find it amazing that you don't find it particularly challenging at any point.…

Re: Week 2: Technique Tango! @Dale Needles Thank you, Dale. I just listened to your link above. Incredible performance by Carlevaro! I think he is playing it at almost double my tempo, yet it does not feel rushed at all. Amazing!
