García de León – Luciérnagas I think I will make this my final recording of this study for this challenge. It still comes in a little slower than García de León asks it to be, but when I go faster,…

Re: Barrios Mini Challenge ✒
@JUAN ALONSO That is sounding very good, Juan! I have picked up this piece several times, but never brought it through to completion. It’s much harder than it sounds.

@JUAN ALONSO Thanks, Alonso! I am not very tech savvy, and I hate spending money, so I just use a very simple setup. I have a Samson USB mic that I bought for $40.…

@David Krupka Thanks, David. Foolishly, I didn’t even look in IMSLP for Barrios studies (where there are many). I just went through my own binder of stuff I had previously printed out.…

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée!
@Wai I love the Aguado lessons! They are bite-sized, fun to play, and there is always something we can learn from them no matter how many times we play them.

Garcia de Leon - Luciernagas (June 9) Today, I decided that I want to do some more technical work with this study. This morning, I played through the entire piece several times, very slowly,…

@Steve Pederson Thanks, Steve. This morning I was practicing a little, and I think I will start practicing this piece a little differently, taking more advantage of the "study" aspect of it and…

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée!
@don Thanks, Don. I have not tried it on lute. I'm not certain it would be possible as the lute is tuned a little differently, and this piece makes use of so many open strings.

Garcia de Leon - Luciernagas (June 8) Here is today's update. The slurs are a bit better, I think. The repeated figure, however, is more inconsistent today, I think.

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée!

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée!

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée!
@David Krupka Thanks, David. Ultimately, the slurred figure should have the same "feel" as the repeated note figure, with the accent on the last note, falling on the down beat of the next measure.…

@Andre Bernier That's great, Andre. I love Sor's Op 60, both pedagogically and musically. You could not do any better, in my opinion. I look forward to hearing your progress.
