@Steve Pederson Sounds great, Steve! I look forward to hearing it all together. I think you can now put "Transcriptionist" on your resumé.

Sor – Les Adieux Op 21 (July 28) Okay, so I lied about yesterday being my last post of this piece for this challenge. In practice, I was playing it pretty well, so I thought I’d give it another go.…

@Barney Beautiful! It looks like it's in a very challenging key for the guitar - lots of barres and left hand gymnastics.

@Martha Kreipke Glad to hear it! I love Mertz. It's not everyone cup of tea, but I love the emotion in his music. He has plenty of pieces at every level of technical ability.
