@Paul Kennedy Thanks Paul for this beautiful music. I have never heard of these 43 pieces. Are they written for the guitar? What does Ghiribizzi mean? I just downloaded a score of them and would…

Coste - Op 38 No 8 (May 5 update) I have been able to sneak in some practice time on this piece. I think I'm playing it at the tempo I'd like now, but there are still many trouble spots.…

Re: Practice Advice: Is this piece too difficult for me?
I cannot attend live, but I will watch this later. I like this topic a lot. I have found that, in order to stay motivated to play, I cannot choose pieces that are too difficult for me.…

@joosje Well, you certainly succeeded in making the melodies sing, Joosje! There is such a purity to these these Aguado studies. I need to revisit them.

@don Lovely selections, Don! I particularly enjoyed listening to the Girl with the Flaxen Hair, as we don't hear that one too often.

@joosje I love these so much, Joosje! Aguado’s studies are full of charm and elegance, and each one has such a clear pedagogical purpose, given to us by Aguado himself.…

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. I'm not sure if Coste intended these to be in any way progressive. For instance, I think #5 (which I skipped) is one of the most difficult.…

@Derek Very nice, Derek. It's so dramatic. Is this named after the cave in Scotland?

@Rick Lord What an incredible start, Rick! Such beautiful tone and phrasing! When you go dolce (like at 0:35) my heart melts. Thanks for the score - this is one I’d like to play someday too.

Coste - Op 38 No 4 This study really is one of my all-time favorites. It's short and fairly simple, but just so beautiful. I would put this alongside more well-known pieces like Tarrega's Lagrima,…

Re: Week 1: Wanderer over a Sea of Fog! 🌥
@Wai Thanks, Wai. Tarrega might be a good place to start. He has so many outstanding miniatures you could play, such as Lagrima, Adelita, or Marieta. Mertz also has some great intermediate pieces,…
