Re: Eric's Lute Corner
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. When I was in college, the Renaissance was definitely my favorite period to play. My Noad “Renaissance Guitar” book was so worn it practically disintegrated until my wife…

I have been finding myself playing my lute a bit more recently, and so I thought I'd create a place to post some of what I'm playing.

Re: Group 4
I am finding it impossible to figure out the pattern of the exercise without having a score. Would it be possible to get it written out so I can understand it?

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Wai That was great, Wai! It's like three little bursts of energy in just 30 seconds. Well played. I don't know the music at all, but it sounded quite difficult to play.

Re: Sor - Op 2 No 3 Andantino
August 14 I haven't posted an update of this in a few days. This performance is far from perfect, but I'll probably make this my final posting of this piece (at least for now).

Re: Fantasia XXXI by Francesco Canova da Milano
@Steve Price Thanks, Steve. I do think it sounds a bit more natural on the lute. That said, da Milano's fantasias seem a bit like just pure music that would sound good on any instrument(s).…

Fantasia XXXI by Francesco Canova da Milano

Re: Sor - Op 2 No 3 Andantino
