Re: Happy Birthday, Bach! Share Your Johann Sebastian Bach Performances! @joosje A beautiful complement to Eric's video, Joosje! (Note: auto-spell wants to call you 'Jodie'.) That's an interesting story about Weiss and a colleague performing this as a duet.…

Re: Happy Birthday, Bach! Share Your Johann Sebastian Bach Performances! @Eric Phillips I also know this from the Noad anthologies. To be honest, for the longest time I didn't think it worked particularly well on guitar - but Sanel Rezdic's recent YouTube recording…

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Eric Phillips Beautiful, Eric - and a lovely tribute to the great civil rights activist. (I'm sorry to have missed it yesterday, when it was most appropriately 'dropped'.…

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Steve Price Nicely done, Steve! One of my favourite Lauro waltzes - less 'flashy' than some of them, but very engaging.

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Eric Phillips That was just cut and paste, not research! I don't know if the source I quoted is reliable. But I agree, if it's accurate, he's had quite a life!

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Moyses Lopes That's the great thing about 'modern' music - you play a wrong note, and no one notices! And I must say, that's a very smooth way of dealing with a 'mistake'!…

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Steve Pederson It's more the style than the tempo, Steve, but I take your point. By the way, having looked at the score now, I think the suggested tempo is too brisk. I prefer it with a relaxed feel.…

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Moyses Lopes Very well played, Moyses! As Blaise also notes, something happens around 1:30 that makes you suddenly break out in a broad grin. Is it something in the music,…

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! Thanks for posting this, Steve! I'd never heard of this composer before, but I like his music already! You're off to a good start - I'm sure you can get through the rest of it before the week's end.…

Re: Week 3: Fasten your Seatbelts! @Steve Pederson Eric's concern here reminds me of something I read about a concert given some years ago in New York by Segovia. It seems that some young guitarist had played the same venue a week…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Steve Price Very nice, Steve! Such 'jazz' arrangements of the old standards really work well on nylon strings. And I'm impressed that you've learned it the 'old-fashioned' way. Bravo!

Re: Baroque Mini Challenge @ferran Very nice, Ferran! That's a beautiful looking (and sounding) lute you have. Six courses in E is unusual these days, but probably makes good sense, especially for guitarists!…
