@Wai That sounded great, Wai! The triplets flowed very well. The tempo slowed a couple times, but not too badly. I really can't do cross-string trills either.…

@joosje Like Steve, I honestly had never heard of a loure. The pulse is there in your playing, and your ornaments are exquisite. It’s great to hear these pieces I haven’t heard before. Beautiful!

Minuets I and II from BWV 1008 (Mar 27) Here's a new one for me. This is from the 2nd Cello Suite, transcribed by Brian Roberts. The tempo is a little slow, but it still sounds fairly good.

Prelude BWV 997 (The Whole Thing!) Mar 27 Well, this is a bit of a milestone - I'm playing the whole thing in one sitting for the first time here. Plenty of mistakes, but I got through it.
