Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@joosje Again, so beautiful! The Branle has some pep to it, and you played the rhythms very crisply. As usual, the Sarabande seems like the heart of the cycle, and it is such a tender melody.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Steve Price Another very enjoyable piece. Thanks for the bit of historical background on the man. I always appreciate knowing a little bit of what a composer has experienced and overcome.

@joosje That is gorgeous, Joosje! You really captured the aesthetic of the period. I only wish it were longer.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I’ll gone your suggestion a try. The Aguado opus is certainly no masterpiece, but it’s fun and has a very dance-like character.

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey?
@Marc Adler That sounds great, but I would love it if someone else leads that. Bach's Chaconne is far beyond my playing level, so I would prefer not to work on it.…

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey?
@Steve Price For me it was his album 20th Century Guitar, which had many of the same pieces. I remember playing that at almost full volume in my car (on a cassette tape!) during college.…

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey?
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Yes, it's hard not to love that piece. If someone has never really listened to the classical guitar, there are not too many better things to play for them.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One
@Steve Price That sounds great, Steve! I had heard of those, but not much, and I know I have never tried to play any of them. I wonder why they haven't "caught on" more among guitarists.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week One
Lauro - La Negra I have been working on this for about a week. Like so much of Lauro's music, it is a Venezuelan waltz. Most of his music is beyond me (I don't play fast music),…
