Re: Bach courante and recording practice This sounds great, Joosje! I'm not as familiar with this second suite. I like the sound, mostly because your great sound starts with your hands. I have been using Audacity as well,…

Re: Eric's Lute Corner @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. What kind of fake nails do you use? Can they be put on and taken off without too much difficulty? I'm just wondering if it is a viable option for me to use fake nails when…

Re: Eric's Lute Corner @joosje Thanks, Joosje. I tried playing guitar very briefly yesterday without my nails. It felt strange. I played through both Lagrima and Adelita. The ring finger is particular difficult for me to…

Re: Eric's Lute Corner @Wai Thanks, Wai. From what I understand, most lutenists do play without nails. With the strings in pairs (courses), it can be tricky making them sound as one note with nails.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Wai They are based on the same melody, but Carlevaro obviously took it in a different direction.

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Wai I remember well how beatify you played this. Actually, Sanz has two versions. One is called Espanoleta (which I believe you played), and the other is Espanoletas (since it has variations).…

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Dale Needles Thanks, Dale. Great performance in the video! I guess I was just wondering what Carlevaro's musical purpose or goal was in writing these arrangements.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. I do like what Carlevaro did. It clearly takes advantage of the greater range and sonority of the modern instrument. I also really like the piu mosso section.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz Españoleta by Sanz-Carlevaro As you can read above, @Blaise Laflamme tipped me onto the Suite de Antiguas Danzas Españolas by Abel Carlevaro. In this suite,…

Re: Studio 13 - Opus 31 - F. Sor Good work so far! This is such a great little piece. It’s a lot more difficult than it seems. There are a lot of awkward fingerings that make it hard to play legato.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Blaise Laflamme I was completely unaware of Carlevaro's version, but I just found it. Great stuff! Of the three pieces I have posted here, only Espanoleta overlaps with Carlevaro.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Blaise Laflamme Yes, I'm very grateful for so many people like him (or Edson Lopes) who have taken the time to put all these scores on the web. It's quite a legacy.

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro @Wai What a difference! I like both. I think if it were a larger work, with repeats, it would be a good way to vary the repeats. Great stuff, Wai!

Re: Gaspar Sanz Españoletas Rodrigo used this music for the longest and slowest movement of Fantasia para un Gentilhombe. Sanz' version presents a theme (measures 1-24), and then two variations of the theme.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Wai Thanks, Wai. I think you could play it, especially if you leave out or simplify the ornaments (which are not necessary). Bradford Werner has a good lesson on it on his website and on YouTube.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz @Blaise Laflamme Thank you, Blaise! That's exactly what I am trying to do here. Since they are relatively simple pieces, I am trying to be more attentive to the details.
