Re: Week 3: Show your Flowers! @Steve Price Thanks, Steve. Yeah, number five is harder than it sounds. The fast passages in thirds, the active bass lines, and even the opening appoggiatura with the pinky and ring finger,…

Re: Week 3: Show your Flowers! @Steve Price That’s wonderful, Steve! I really like the flavor of this music. (I know that sounds weird, but I can’t think of a better word to describe it.)

Re: Week 3: Show your Flowers! @joosje Thank you, Joosje. Listening back, I did notice the wrong tempo in m 5, and now I’m playing it more correctly. It’s funny how I miss things like that when I’m playing it.…

Re: Week 3: Show your Flowers! @Calin Lupa Beautiful, Calin! This is my father's favorite piece - any time I play for him, he has to hear it! I liked your use of rubato, vibrato, and variation in tone color.…

Re: Week 3: Show your Flowers! @Andre Bernier Good work, Andre. It's always best to break the music up into workable chunks. It keeps our practice organized, focused, and can give us a greater sense of accomplishment.…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Moyses Lopes Ah man, Moyses, that was so cool! It starts off with these lush chords and great bass voice, then the texture picks up around 0:38, and then from about 1:…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Wai Great to hear from you, Wai, and a wonderful choice to work on. I know the hymn well, but I have never heard it arranged for guitar. It is very effective, and I particularly enjoy the bass lines.…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Steve Pederson Exactly. Years ago, I used to practice scales in thirds, but I haven't done it in a while. For this measure, I wish I hadn't stopped.

Re: Week 3: Show your Flowers! Sor - Minuet Op 11 No 4 (Feb 20) For this update, I tried to play it very gently and sensitively. I also tried to make my slurs cleaner and clearer (especially the pull-offs).…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Barney Great work, Barney! This kind of piece is definitely your strong suit. Like most of these kind of pieces, I think I looked at the score and tried playing it for about five minutes,…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Steve Pederson Somehow I missed there here, Steve! Great work! There were a couple moments in the Lagrima that were just incredibly beautiful. That’s what I always look for in that piece.…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Andre Bernier Thanks, Andre. Yes, I tend to get pieces to the 70% level pretty quickly. It's that extra 30% of playing the music at a high performance level where I struggle and lack patience.

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. Yes, the opening of #5 did remind me of his famous Op 15 sonata. I wonder if that was a conscious connection for Sor.
