Re: Week 4: Music from Latin America! Ponce - Estrellita I think this may be the first posting of a Ponce piece this challenge. I found this arrangement of his song Estrellita by Mario Abril.

Re: Week 3: Rhythm Everywhere! @Barney That sounded great, Barney! I thought the melody sang beautifully, and it did not sound out of tune to me. I've always wanted to play this, but I move on after giving it a go for a little…

Re: Week 3: Rhythm Everywhere! @joosje Oh, they bother me plenty! When I'm done playing this, my left hand is in pain. Moyses said that Barrios had unusually large hands, so pieces like this were probably not very hard for him to…

Re: Week 3: Rhythm Everywhere! @Moyses Lopes Thanks, Moyses! No changes in my recording equipment or method. Maybe the microphone placement was (unintentionally) different? I wish I knew what was different, so I could repeat it.…

Re: Week 3: Rhythm Everywhere! @Dale Needles Well done, Dale. Like Jack, I enjoyed the harmonies. I'm glad you explained the title. Without that, I would be wondering why it doesn't sound Asian.
