Re: Fernando Sor - Six Petite Pieces Op 47 Cantabile Op 47 No 5 (Apr 30) I think this is the best piece of this opus. It certainly is the most difficult piece to play (at least for me). So, I will be practicing this one in some stages.…

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge Angel Barrios - Tonadilla (Apr 30 update) Today, I pushed the speed up a bit. I also changed a few of the chord voicings, which I think help the flow of the music. I hope Angel would not disapprove!

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire @joosje That is so wonderful, Joosje! What a bold undertaking. Hearing those rich chords over the drone bass is just mesmerizing.

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge @Derek Thank you, Derek. I first heard the piece a while back in a YT video with it being played by Pepe Romero. A google search got me the score, but I just started playing it now for this…

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge @Derek That was perfect, Derek! Great rhythm, articulation, rubato, and sweetness to the melody. The only thing that would make that better is if we really were sitting on that beach listening to you…

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge @Steve Price Nice, Steve! That Danza has always confounded me too. Maybe I need to watch Borbala's lesson.

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge @David Krupka Thanks, David. It reminds me a little of Calatayud’s quasi-flamenco style. It would probably be a crowd pleaser (and I don’t mean that disrespectfully at all).…

Re: Spanish Music Mini Challenge Angel Barrios - Tonadilla from Arroyos de la Alhambra At first, I was tempted to submit some Sor, since he is Spanish and all. But that's probably not the spirit of this mini-challenge.…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire @Steve Price Yes! It's a bit like a jazz progression. Not what I'd expect from a Mexican composer.
