Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @David Krupka No, no frets have needed changing yet. I wouldn't have the first clue about how to do that. I might just pay to have someone else do it.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Blaise Laflamme They are the ones that came on the instrument when it was shipped. It came with a spare pack, so I assume they are Roosebeck strings (in the pic below).…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Jack Stewart Sounding great, Jack! You really are developing the no-nail technique. I have heard from some that it can take 6-12 months, so this is truly astounding.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Steve Price Great job, Steve. Mertz has lots of great music at this level of playing. Personally, I'd love it if we had a four-week Mertz challenge.

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Jack Stewart I know nothing about Mompou, other than having heard the name and having a vague knowledge of his time period. I have nothing to add other than what others above had said - this is far…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Wai Wai, this is so amazing! Your arrangement is great, and I particularly liked the campanella section at the end. It's more than just enjoyable to listen to, it's absolutely marvelous!…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Blaise Laflamme @Jack Stewart Interestingly, this piece reminds me very much of his Prelude No. 5, in that it has three sections that are each similar in character to these three sections.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @David Krupka Thanks, David. As you noted, this piece is very guitaristic. I wonder if other instruments ever play transcriptions of his guitar pieces.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Marilyn Blodget Thank you, Marilyn! I've always been pretty quick at the initial stages of learning a piece. Taking it to the next level is where I usually stall.
