Re: Week 2: Share your Love! Sor - Minuet Op 11 No 4 Here is an update on this piece after a couple more practice sessions. This is one of those pieces that I could play 1000 times straight and never grow tired of it.

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! Sor - Minuets 4 and 5 from Op 11 I'm going to let you all in on a secret: I really LOVE Sor. (Okay, maybe that's not much of a secret. ) Playing the minuet from his Op 3 last week has made me want…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Jack Stewart I'm surprised that foul word didn't trip the algorithm and slap my post with the dreaded "pending review" tag!

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Jack Stewart Yes, I caught that typo. Darn autocorrect! I have never been to Albania, but I am sure that the country would compare quite favorably with Jose Ferrer.…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Steve Pederson Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the comparison with Bream, but I still think his playing is light years ahead of mine. I am not quite understanding where you think my rhythm is…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @joosje Thank you, Joosje! I’d like to try to keep Mallorca in my memory so I can play it for a while. And playing the Ferrer is like dessert for me, because I feel less pressure when playing a piece…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Barney Thanks, Barney. I am only using free stroke, which is pretty much all I ever use. For a little while, right after Mircea's virtuosity challenge,…

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! @Moyses Lopes Grazie, amico mio! If it really were Segovia, I would be far too scared to answer it, Just thinking of what he would say to me makes me shake!

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack! Obviously, the Albeniz is a much more interesting piece of music. I get great joy, however, out of playing smaller, lesser-known pieces, like the Ferrer.…

Re: Week 2: Share your Love! Mallorca Feb 14 Here is another update on this piece. This time I silenced my phone first, so no interruptions! Just for fun, I decided to put some reverb on it. Let me know if you like it.…

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! @Jack Stewart That was great, Jack! I know you hear lots of mistakes there, but I don’t. When I listen, I hear nice crisp rhythms and gorgeous ornaments (which I have now come to expect from you).…

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! @Jack Stewart It was actually Andres Segovia calling to tell me that I was using all the wrong fingerings.

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! @Andre Bernier Thanks, Andre. Listening back, a few of the rings almost seem to enhance the music, like they are intentional. I’m sure Albeniz would be rolling in his grave if he heard me say that!

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! @Steve Pederson All of the above! There are several very tricky parts that I had to practice in isolation a lot, and that still cause me trouble. The macro-problem I am most aware of when playing it…

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! @Andre Bernier Very good, Andre! Descending bass lines are great, and they are all over the place in music, from Bach to Led Zeppelin, and everything in between.

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! @Steve Pederson Beautiful, Steve! You are bringing out the melody nicely. This is a perfect piece to have ready to play at a moments notice, when someone simply says, “Play something for me.…
