Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
@Spare Machine Good work, Mark, it's much improved again. I have a few thoughts about what I saw: You are mixing in some rest strokes, which is very good for this music,…

Giuliani – Le Jasmin Op 46 No 4 Alright, I’m not sure if this is unfinished business, exactly. I have played it before, though listening to my old recording, I wanted to improve it.…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. I don't know those pieces well enough, but I'm sure you are correct. The similarities I hear come from his shorter pieces (which I have actually played).
