@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.

@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.…

Sor - Menuet Op 3 And here is an update of the Sor piece. Probably not too much different.

Mallorca Feb 10 Here's an update on Mallorca. I tried to play it with more dynamic, tempo, and timbre variation. Listening back, the changes are less than I thought they'd be (as usual).…

@martin I just signed up, I think. I followed your link above. On another note, my reply to Steve above says "pending review". Are you able to change that?

@Steve Price Hi Steve. Thanks for listening. I'm not sure I have any great insights on your question. I'd like to say (as Blaise wrote so well above) that I am thinking of a story that I am trying to…

@Steve Pederson Thanks Steve! Yes the C# to Bb grace note sounds better, I think, if executed on the same string as a pull-off. After trying to do it for a while, however,…

@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. For some reason, I can never get enough of Sor. I'd love to play the theme and variations that precede this minuet, but that seems beyond my level.…

Re: Week 1: Pick a Piece! ♥
@Steve Price Thanks, Steve. I was surprised too. The chromaticism in the melody and the somewhat irregular phrasing are not what we've come to expect from Sor, let alone early Sor.

@Barney Thanks, Barney. Sometimes a piece just captures me and I am driven to play it. What I often lack is the patience to bring it to a higher level.

Sor - Menuet from Op 3 I know I posted above that I want to work on Mallorca during this challenge, and I do indeed want to continue with that. A couple days ago, however,…

@Andre Bernier What a great arrangement! Thanks for sharing - I will put that score in my Christmas folder I think. You are playing it very well already.

Albéniz - Mallorca Feb 5 I started working on this last month, but I think it makes a good candidate for me to continue working on for this challenge. It certainly is an iconic piece that I have…

Re: Isaac Albéniz - Mallorca (Barcarolla) Op 202
Jan 19 I took a little break from this for a few days, but came back to it today. I thought maybe I might not remember some parts after a five day break, but I didn't seem to have any memory lapses.
