Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! Pedro Ramirez Sanchez - Madrigal (July 21) I'm taking another stab at this beautiful piece. This time, I was more focused on bringing out the melody and keeping the accompaniment quieter.

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! @Jack Stewart Good work, Jack. I haven’t looked at the score, but at the beginning and end (the less active sections), it does seem like you’re counting in your head, groping a bit for the timing.…

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! @Jack Stewart Close! They are some kind of pom poms my wife put up for the Fourth of July. Needless to say, I am not in charge of home decor around here.

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! @Dale Needles I really love this one, Dale! I have heard Abel Fleury’s name many times, but I never have spent time with his music. I really like the dramatic flair of this piece,…

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! @Jack Stewart I really love those power chords droning underneath the angular, syncopated melody. Thanks for sharing these Brouwer pieces with us. Your performance is quite good,…

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! @Sam Greenblatt Excellent choice and performance, Sam! I don't think it sounds ponderous at all, especially the A section. I have always struggled mightily with highly rhythmic pieces like this,…

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! Anido - Preludio Pampeano I think I'll make this my last post of this piece. Maybe I can sneak one more in by the end of the challenge? (Not sure)

Re: Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro! @Barney I love it, Barney! I have heard Canciones, but have never tried to play them. Do I guess correctly from what you wrote that you think this is the easiest of them to play?

Re: Week 3: From Ponce to Piazolla! Anido – Preludio Pampeano (July 14) I continue to work on this beautiful prelude by Maria Luisa Anido. There has been some improvement, but so much more work needs to be done.…

Re: Week 3: From Ponce to Piazolla! @Jack Stewart This is awesome, Jack! I particularly like the section from about 1:45-2:10ish, with the driving rhythm on the upper strings and the angular melody underneath it.…

Re: Week 3: From Ponce to Piazolla! @Lars Kjøller-Hansen Thank you for the kind words, Lars. I record with my laptop and an inexpensive USB microphone. Typically, I do add a touch of reverb with Audacity (it took me forever to figure…

Re: Week 3: From Ponce to Piazolla! @Jack Stewart Yes, Anido has several energetic and more technically challenging pieces. I love Raphaella Schmidt's playing - anything she touches turns to gold.
