Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@Jack Stewart Doing what I can. I may need to mix and match, as the saltarello and piva that are in this "suite" are pretty difficult (at least for me).

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@Jack Stewart Very true. However, he added the lesser-known fact that there are only so many notes an ear can hear in the course of an evening.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack! As Emperor Joseph said to Mozart in Amadeus, it simply has too many notes. “Just cut a few and it will be perfect!” 😀

@David Krupka Thanks, David. As you noted, this piece is very guitaristic. I wonder if other instruments ever play transcriptions of his guitar pieces.

@Marilyn Blodget Thank you, Marilyn! I've always been pretty quick at the initial stages of learning a piece. Taking it to the next level is where I usually stall.

Villa-Lobos - Valse-Choro Well, now for something completely different. I don’t often take on these icons of the repertoire, but I came across this in my binder of music, tried playing a bit,…

@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 🥁🎸
@David Krupka Yes, p-i is definitely the way to go for the fast bits. I find when I do it, though, it's very hard for me to get my thumb back to play the correct bass string.…

@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.…

Dowland – Fortune My Foe Up until now, I have only been doing the “Dance” half or the “Song and Dance” challenge. There is perhaps no better place to look for a good song than Dowland,…

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…
