Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4
@Eric Phillips Very impressive control in both hands, Eric! At no point is the difficulty (especially for the left hand) made apparent - you make it look effortless!…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4
@Steve Price Interesting music which seems to work well on guitar, Steve. Are these your own arrangements? Btw, I read the entry for the composer in wikipedia - her life story reads like a Victorian…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
@Steve Price It's really nice to hear these studies, Steve. As @Eric Phillips says, it's surprising they're not better known.

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three
@Eric Phillips Very fine playing, Eric! I remember looking briefly at these studies a couple of years ago, after hearing Carlotta Dalia playing number 2 for Siccas Guitars.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Two
@Eric Phillips Fine start with this, Eric. You'll soon have enough of Pratten's music under your belt to program an entire concert! Did you happen to see her note in the score on how to avoid…

@don Great start with this very interesting piece, Don! (I was aware of its existence but had never actually heard it before.) Looking at the score, I see what you mean by it being difficult to count.…

@Eric Phillips Nicely played, Eric. I've been looking at some of Linnemann's music too, and I've experienced just what you describe - at first reading, it seems rather formless,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week One
@David Krupka I see now that Elba died in 1941, three years before her father wrote that inscription. A sad conclusion to this little mystery!

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week One
@Eric Phillips Undoubtedly, I'm sure! You see, Wakeman's piano teacher had studied at Guildhall, and she had a friend who knew Mrs. Pratten. So it's a direct line of influence,…

Re: Promotion question for well-rounded musician
@JR There must be something wrong with me. I actually like that music by 'boring dead guys'. (And a few dead gals too.) Yes sir, from Bach to Bowie, I like it all!
