Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Steve Pederson I'm not sure if I'll get to the finish line on this one. I love it, but I find it so difficult to play at tempo, and it's very long. This is just half of it.

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Steve Pederson Thanks, Steve. I'll put that in my files. I notice it's Carcassi, not Carulli.

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Steve Pederson I applied and they gave it to someone more qualified, like maybe a trained monkey.

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Steve Pederson Yes, and I think I need to give it more dynamic direction and purpose.

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Steve Pederson Thanks, but I'd say that was far from brilliant. Just me goofing around.

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Steve Pederson I liked those both, Steve! I particularly like the first one. Do you know the opus number? Your home position does seem a bit close to the bridge.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @joosje Very nice, Joosje! I'm particularly impressed by how easily and naturally you stopped unwanted bass notes. I wish I could do that as well as you.

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @joosje Really beautiful, Joosje! Like Lob der Tranen, this one fools us with a relatively easy first half. But in the second half, those crazy fast arpeggios come in,…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. I literally had never heard of Matiegka before Bradford put out his music on his website a few months ago. And it's not like I'm one who only follows guitar music…

Re: Group 3 Legato Exercise July 20 Thank you so much for watching my last video and giving me advice. I did not understand what you wanted me to do with dynamics in the spider exercise.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @joosje I assume you are talking about measure 42? That makes sense. I'll be honest, I didn't even see them there, but your understanding makes perfect sense to me.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Jack Stewart Elegant is a good word to describe it. It's not as emotional as the later works I have been playing, so it feels almost a bit detached to me.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! Matiegka Sonata IV Allegro Moderato measures 1-26 I'm going to try to work on the Matiegka piece that Hannah sent us. It is definitely a large step up in difficulty for me, so we'll see how it goes.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @joosje This is already sounding very good, Joosje, and it's obviously challenging music to play. When I first heard some Matiegka, I admit that I did not care for it too much.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @joosje Thank you, Joosje. I wanted to play only some simpler Mertz, because I'm going to try some Matiegka, which is rather more difficult than this. I'll probably need the rest of the week just to…
