@Dale Needles Outstanding, Dale! It does remind me of the Garcia de Leon piece. You execute those slurs very nicely.

@joosje I am in heaven listening to you play so much Sor! I particularly enjoyed the second piece in the second video - it is seldom played, but such a great composition.

@Marilyn Blodget Yes, it seems like something from Pumping Nylon. I have to say, it doesn’t really tire my hand out a lot to play it, like Cavatina would.

@Barney Don’t confuse playing a lot of Sor with being a “Sor master”. Like I said, I avoid most of his upper level pieces, especially fast ones like this. Your playing here is just outstanding.

@Barney Excellent, Barney. I noticed how you cleverly got up to the fifth position before the A minor barre chord. Did you come up with that yourself?

@Barney Wow! This one is so difficult I have always avoided it. Great playing. I love the moment in the middle when it slows down, and then the opening comes back at full speed.

@Marilyn Blodget Beautiful, Marilyn! I was wondering if you had forgotten to post a video. Great idea to dampen the F#. Very effective.

@Wai We think we own our cats, but in truth, they own us! (Actually, I don't currently have any cats, but I have had plenty in the past. I currently have a dog, or I should say, my dog has me.)

Re: Fernando Sor Mini Challenge 🙋‍♂️
@JUAN ALONSO Love it, Juan! This whole opus is spectacular, and number six is a great show piece. My favorite version of it is by Pavel Steidl- I love the tone colors and flourishes he adds.

@Wai Wow, way to get up there on the neck. I had to watch this twice, because the first time I was mesmerized by your cat. The second time, however, it was the music that did it to me. Great stuff!
