Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Jack Stewart Beautiful, Jack! You really play that double quickly! I almost get a panic attack when I think of playing anything that fast. Good sound, and everything is very fluid.

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! @Jack Stewart Excellent, Jack! You have such a feel for baroque music, and as always, your ornaments are superb. That's quite a bit of material you have gotten through.…

Re: Miguel Llobet Mini Challenge @Eric Phillips I just struck a little gold in figuring out where this music comes from. Apparently it is not from a song, but from a piece for piano by Rogelio Villar.…

Re: Miguel Llobet Mini Challenge @Michael Shirk Thanks, Michael. I’m not familiar with the saying, but the only thing that will get me to stop playing is a bunch of technique exercises. Those are my kryptonite!
