Re: Happy Birthday, Mauro Giuliani! @Eric Phillips Another fine performance, Eric. I love the little ‘tenuto’ you throw in when the opening theme reappears. Also, your fine handling of the chromatic approaches to the ends of phrases.…

Re: Week 3: Italy in 19th ! @Wai What a charming little piece, Wai! And you already play it so well! I see what you mean about the slurs - definitely a workout for the left hand. Are you playing them ‘tirando’ - I.e.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Eric Phillips Very nice, Eric! Thanks for presenting these. I did notice the dedication. As an aunt of mine used to say (referring to a last morsel at the table) ‘it’s got your name written on it’.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! During our ‘week in Paris’ I came across this little collection of pieces by Luigi Castellacci, an Italian guitarist and singer who, like his compatriots Carulli and Carcassi,…

Re: Week 3: Italy in 19th ! @joosje This is coming along very nicely, Joosje. As you say, a few of the arpeggios need to be cleaned up, but this will come with practice. As for tempo,…

Re: Happy Birthday, Mauro Giuliani! @Eric Phillips Another nice one, Eric. Very effective ritardando at end of the second section! For some one in the ‘Sor’ camp you have a real affinity for Giuliani’s decidedly Italianate style.

Re: Happy Birthday, Mauro Giuliani! @Eric Phillips LOL, Eric. Your youth may be waning, but judging by your enthusiasm and energy, you still retain most of it! I listened to this again with the score in hand and realized that you’ve…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Wai You’re right, Wai, ‘attacca’ does imply ‘without pause’ (i.e. ‘attack!’). But the final chord of opening section lasts four full beats, so you have time to catch your breath, so to speak.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Jack Stewart Dylla and Ceku are both such fine players! I guess one of the hallmarks of great music is that it permits a variety of interpretations. Or is it that great performers can make a…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Jack Stewart I agree with you, Jack - the ‘allegro’ is a little difficult to make sense of, what with all those strange off-beat accents. But it is, I guess, what Mertz wrote.…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Jack Stewart This is coming along nicely, Jack! It’s a very challenging piece. Personally, I would take it at a slower tempo, with more liberal use of rubato.…

Re: Week 3: Italy in 19th ! @Eric Phillips This is already sounding good, Eric. (And no complaints about tempo this time! ) I concur with Blaise, by the way - I think you could manage the majority of these Caprices if you…

Re: Week 3: Italy in 19th ! @Eric Phillips For the listener, the second take represents a big step forward, I would say. What for for the player may feel like small improvements can in fact mean a far more satisfactory…

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Blaise Laflamme I wonder, Blaise, if string spacing, rather than scale length, might be the critical factor?

Re: Week 2: Vienna in 19th ! @Eric Phillips Very well played with effective use of dynamics, Eric. To my mind, though, it doesn’t quite have the character of a bagatelle (as I understand the term) at this tempo.…

Re: Hannah Murphy: Italy in the 19th Century - Legnani, Paganini, Regondi I’ll repeat here a point I made in another thread: I don’t see that Regondi can reasonably be considered as Italian, except (possibly) by ancestry. As noted above, he was not born in Italy;…

Re: Week 1: In the Salons of 19th Century Paris! @Eric Phillips Nicely played, Eric! This is taken from Coste’s ‘revision’ of Sor’s ‘Methode complete pour la guitare’. (It is less a revision than a reformulation of Sor’s principles,…
