Re: WEEK 1: Discovering J.S.Bach! @Derek Playing all those would be quite a challenge. As usual for Bach suites, I really love the Sarabande.

Re: WEEK 1: Discovering J.S.Bach! @Derek Thanks, Derek. I found transcriptions of it mostly in A major, but this one in G major seems a more natural fit to me.

Re: WEEK 1: Discovering J.S.Bach! @Wai Thanks, Wai. Honestly, I think this piece is only a little more difficult than pieces you have submitted, so you're not far off from being able to play this.

Re: Gaspar Sanz - Folias That was excellent, Wai! Again, your sound and clean execution are so great. All those slurred ornaments are not easy to do at all. I really enjoy listening to you play Sanz.

Re: WEEK 1: Discovering J.S.Bach! Sinfonia (Arioso) from BWV 156 March 4 This is part of one of Bach's cantatas, and I find the melody to be very infectious. The arrangement is by Bradford Werner.…

Re: READ ME: The Month of J.S.Bach! I actually do not play a lot of Bach. Don't get me wrong, I love his music. It just seems a bit intimidating, and some people have such strong opinions about Bach's music and how it should be played.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Jack Stewart Been there, done that, many times. As an outsider (i.e. not you) I can honestly say it would have been great to hear it even with the messed up ending.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I do hate messing up on the last note/chord, but it happens a lot. As I get toward the end of a piece, a little voice in my head keeps saying, "Don't mess up!…

Re: Baroque Performance Practice feat. Vijay Gupta and Bach's Chaconne @Martin My favorite moment in all of written music has to be the moment the Chaconne changes into D major. I can't think of anything more beautiful and sublime.

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Emma Thanks, Emma. That’s the best I can think of too. It’s maybe like a romanticized view of rural Spain and the peasant farmers, and the music is intended to evoke that image.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Emma Beautiful, Emma! I love the moments where the melody rises up and you do a slight ritardando (like at 1:00 for example). I also love the strong rhythm of the section that starts at 2:05.
