Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @Steve Price Thanks, Steve. I really like this one too. It brings out the best qualities of the guitar's sound, in my opinion. It is a bit of a pain, though,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 @David Krupka Thanks, David. It is very effective as a study in that there are some very clear technical goals for each hand. Musically, it seems like she is being rather playful with the harmonic…
