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),…

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
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. It sounds like you have some knowledge of this melody. I had no idea it was a medieval tune, but that makes sense.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4
I suppose this is the official "end" of this challenge, but I see no reason why people cannot keep posting music by women composers here. I, for one, plan to continue working on some of these pieces.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4
Maria Luisa Anido - Nana This is apparently based on a melody by Alfonso el Sabio (Alphonse the Wise in English). It very much reminds me of Llobet's arrangements of Catalan folk songs,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4
@joosje This is so wonderful, Joosje! I tried to play this long ago (and gave up), so I know it is a rather difficult piece, technically. You not only handle the technique,…

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…

Presti - Etude III (Apr 27) Here is an update on this. I'm really trying to play the chords very evenly, and not arpeggiate any of them. It gets hard in a few spots,…
