Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @David Krupka Thanks, David. I certainly couldn't dance to his version, my version, anyone's version. I've got two left feet.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @joosje What a lovely piece of music! I love the contrasts of pizzicato and lyrical melody. I know the name Ida Presti, but sadly I don't know any of her music.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Michael Shirk Yes, the opening sixteen measures aren't too bad, and I can definitely play them a bit faster. But when measure 17 comes, I'd be toast. Here's a performance of this piece by Jeffrey…
