Re: "Easy Pieces" Mini Challenge
@Jack Stewart This post has put the biggest smile on my face! Not only do I love the Sor (and the nice articulation you put on the bass voice), but the birthday surprise was just a wonderful personal…

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces!
@Steve Pederson Thanks Steve. Sor is often called the “Beethoven of the guitar” (in fact, Manuel Barrueco even has an album of Sor’s music with that title), but just for fun, I was reversing them.…

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces!
@Jack Stewart Thank you, Jack. I have listen to Savigni’s version of this many times, and I love it, probably my favorite of those I have found on YT. And it’s on a real LaCote, too!
