Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Jack Stewart Yes, I have noticed that about Lorenzo. Actually, since attempting to play the lute, I have noticed that in several guitar players who also play early instruments.…

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. I really like that one, so I decided to work on memorizing it, which always helps in making it more musical. Forum? What's that?

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack! I have become so forgetful that anytime I read music, it is sight-reading. They say there are three signs of getting older: Forgetting things I can't remember I can't…

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Steve Pederson Maybe I’m wrong about Kemp’s Jig. Newsidler’s name I have seen spelled in a variety of ways (including the way I just typed it). I’ve been told that Fernando Sor was actually named…

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Steve Pederson @Jack Stewart Yes, Kemp's Jig is definitely Dowland. The Neusidler piece that Parkening labeled as "Italian Dance" is actually called "Ein welscher tanz" which translates to "French…

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Andre Bernier Sounds great, Andre! I definitely recommend using the score and not just the video.

Re: Fernando Sor - Six Petite Pieces Op 47 Valse Op 47 No 6 I ended up working on this during Week 1 of the "Song and Dance Challenge", so here I am just posting the videos I first made of each section,…

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @JUAN ALONSO Very nice, Juan! I played this piece for my senior recital in 1991, and I don’t think I’ve played it since. Very challenging for both hands. Looking forward to hearing more Sor from you!

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge @Rick Lord Love it Rick! Yes, I did work on this one a bit, but I never really brought it up to performance level. Maybe I'll return to it someday soon.…

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Steve Pederson Great stuff, Steve! I especially like your performance of Kemp's jig - so musical with the changes of color and articulation, and then the super cool ornamentation.…

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Andre Bernier Glad to hear it. If you want to play some, I'd suggest starting with opus 60.

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Steve Pederson Thanks, Steve. It's such a simple piece, if it weren't for those little runs and flourishes.

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Blaise Laflamme You’re right, Blaise. It’s the same key, and virtually the same harmonic progression, I think.

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls @Barney Really beautiful, Barney! I have never heard this one before. It’s so lush but gentle, and the transcription resonates so well on the guitar, as though it was written for it.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Wai I’m no expert, but I know that it’s a very big topic. I tend to just add a few of my own from time to time when there is nothing in the score. I think Brandon Acker might have treated the topic…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Steve Price The first thing anyone says when they pick up a lute for the first time is usually, “Wow! That’s really light!” I assume the wood used is much thinner.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Steve Pederson I highly recommend it! Now all I need is a vihuela, a baroque guitar, and a romantic guitar. While I'm at it, maybe a new modern guitar would be good too.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Jack Stewart Thank you, Jack. I don't particularly share your evaluation of my lute playing. When I listen to truly good lutenists, their sound is so much better than mine.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles John Dowland - Round Battle Galliard I had played this on the guitar many decades ago, when I still had Noad's "Renaissance Guitar" anthology. Now that I have a lute, I thought I'd give it a go again.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Calin Lupa This is a great start to a very difficult piece. You kept up the relentless rhythm and delivered a lovely melody on top of it. I watched Izquierdo's lesson on this a while back,…
