@Robert Love Beautiful, and welcome Robert! You are managing those chord changes very well. There are a few spots where the legato in the melody is lost, mostly at the end of a few phrases.…

Schubert - Standchen (arr. Mertz) May 13 I have always loved Mertz' arrangements of six songs by Schubert. But, when I try to actually play them, they seem to turn to mud in my hands.…

Re: 🌍 Where in the world are you tuning in from?
I'm from Rochester, NY, USA. I have played guitar since 1982, classical since 1988. Just finishing up Ponce's Chanson (from Sonata III), and barely started Schubert's Standchen (arr. Mertz).

@Debbie Thanks, Debbie. On my own, I do not focus well. But knowing I was making a video motivated me. That's one of the main reasons why I enjoy these challenges.

@Bart Versteeg That was excellent, Bart! Sor has so many of these lesser-known opuses that are really great. I love the snappy rhythm, the left hand leaps, and the color changes you incorporated.…

@joosje I love this Passacaglia! I first heard it on a recording by Christopher Parkening, and so I always associate it with him. Maybe after this challenge, though, I will associate it with you!…
