Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire @Jack Stewart I just listened to Op 9.1 performed by Alexander Wiglos. WOW! It starts out like a typical Romantic piece, but then it takes all these crazy harmonic turns. I just love it.…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire Scriabin - Prelude Op 16 No 4 (May 2 update) I have it memorized now (not too difficult, as it is quite short and slow). Yesterday, I played the single-note lines at the beginning and the end with…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire @Jack Stewart Thanks Jack. I will definitely check that out when I get a chance tonight. I had vaguely heard of Scriabin, but never really listened to him or considered playing his music on the…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire @Khiem Nguyen Thanks, Khiem. I actually created it looking at the piano score (in Eb minor) and Segovia’s transcription (in B minor). I wrote it down in tablature just to write it quickly.…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire @Jack Stewart Hah! I just did that to make me look learned. Actually, I was at work, and there is a teacher workroom that nobody uses. We store sets of books there that the English teachers are no…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire @Steve Pederson If you do, please share your score with me! I am really drawn into his music. Some of his harmonic progressions just seem to come out of nowhere, but they sound so good.…

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge @Wai I love those! Short and sweet, but you really capture the flavor of the music. Your ornaments are really god. If I close your eyes, it sounds like you are playing a baroque guitar.

Re: Miguel Llobet Mini Challenge @JUAN ALONSO Thank you, Juan. It is always good to listen to El Testament, especially when played this well. You have a lovely sound that works well for Llobet.

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge @Derek Thanks, Derek. I do enjoy Rioja! Around here, most people drink Californian or Italian wines, so I like to give people Rioja just to be a little different.
