Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra F.M. Torroba – Montemayor and Sigüenza These are two pieces from Torroba’s Castles of Spain. Montemayor always sounds like Renaissance music to me, but with a more modern color.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I guess I let out all of my bottled up romantic melancholy while I play! And I agree, if this piece really was named "plowing" by Torroba,…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Derek Thanks, Derek. I find the other two movements harder to play, mainly because of the tempo.

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Wai Thank you, Wai. This particular piece has some parts that seemed almost impossible at first glance, but eventually became doable. I will admit that I altered the score in a few places.…

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Martin Thank you so much, Martin! This is a wonderfully good description of each of the movements of the suite. I do still wonder why the second movement is called Arada.

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Derek Thanks, Derek. They are quite tricky. I get dizzy whenever I play them. It's so hard to focus my eyes that high on the fingerboard.

Re: WEEK 4: Homenaje a la Guitarra @Olli That was just wonderful, Olli! I thought the speed was fine, and not boring at all. I like that this is a tremolo piece that we don't hear very often, and it is really beautiful,…
