Carulli - Andantino Op 241 No 5 I'm not sure if this should count for Romantic era music, as it is more classical in character. However, when I looked up "When is the Romantic period in music?…

@Marilyn Blodget Yes, I am sorely lacking in patience. Generally, if I can't get something under my fingers within an hour, I tend to move on. Focusing on just one section is a great idea.

@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. You're right, the similarity to Chopin op 7.1 is pretty clear. I love the way Kowalski plays this too. I'd give my left hand to play like him! 🤚

Tárrega - Sueño Mazurka I think this might be the first Tárrega posted in this challenge. This one seems very influenced by Chopin to me.

@Jack Stewart I think that's coming along great, Jack. This is a gargantuan piece of music, and one that could easily be worked on for months or years.

@Jack Stewart I can hear that. I think it’s all those melody likes played in thirds.

@Jack Stewart I don’t think my students would describe me as stern and somber. Maybe boring, with dumb jokes. I’ve always been a “get more bees with honey” kind of teacher, though.…

@Dale Needles That is so good, Dale!!! Playing left-handed without inverting the strings just blows my mind. What a shame he died so young. Beautiful performance! 👋
