Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! @Wai Well, I think it's wonderful, Wai! Nothing about this is butchered at all. The section from about 1:35 - 2:30 looks pretty hard to play, but the arrangement is very beautiful.

Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! Ferrer - Nostalgia (May 23) I have continued working on this piece by Ferrer, and I'm pretty happy with it at this point. I recorded this one behind my desk where I teach.

Re: Group 1 @Robert Thanks for watching, Robert. I'll be honest, I'm just doing the work to try to gain a bit more independence in my right hand. I've never really had a strong desire to play tremolo pieces

Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! @Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz I'm discovering a lot of pieces by Ferrer that I like. I'm surprised we hear him so infrequently. Someday, maybe when I retire,…

Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! @Marilyn Blodget These were both so great, Marilyn! I'm so glad you're joining in. Like Jack, I prefer the guitar version, but I am very biased.

Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! @Wai Thanks, Wai. I hear several mistakes, but I need to remember that not everyone will notice or care. The overall effect of the music is more important than some mistakes.…

Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! @Eric Phillips Thanks for listening, Jack. It’s definitely not a beginner piece, more like late intermediate, I’d say. I want to keep working on it so I can play it more securely.…

Re: Group 1 Here are videos with my tremolo practice today. I'm trying, but I really don't enjoy this kind of practice. It's just tedious and mentally exhausting. I'm doing all the different finger combinations,…

Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! José Ferrer - Nostalgia (May 20) Here is a new one I'm working on. It's in C minor, which makes it a bit challenging for the guitar. Making things legato just does not come easy in this key.
